Rents are due on the first day of the month and they are considered late after the fifth. More than 98% of our tenants pay their rent by the fifth of the month. If the rent is not received by the fifth of the month, we will take the first step in the eviction process, which is to send to the tenant a 3 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit. Initiation of this first step in the eviction process is done in-house and there is no additional charge to the owner.
If a tenant has not paid by the end of the notice period, we notify the owner and under most circumstances we advise that we proceed with the eviction process. At that time, the eviction is turned over to a law firm specializing in evictions.
