Re: Eviction tenant wants to pay partial rent owed by SD (MN) on August 7, 2010 @22:58

Thanks for clarifying that- I believe she thinks she will get out of the eviction by making a partial payment.
She actually called today and left a message that she was going to bring the check out to our house - but we were not at home.
I am concerned about handling her personal property after the Writ is served and she is removed from the house. She has tons of stuff (nice) Not sure how to make arrangements for her to retrieve it if we don't speak to her.
I don't expect a mess unless she really flips out about this. She is neat and clean and has expensive "things" (shopaholic, but the rent is at the bottom of her list, sigh)

Hi SD, Sorry you have to go thru this. I've had to as well. I wrote you further down below I didn't know then that you are in Mn. Like I said if you can accept partial payment as we can in IL(that doesn't stop the eviction)make it clear to her,this is the result of HER choices. Funny,they don't see it as personal responsibility on their part and the consequence of their bad decision making process. You don't want this type of tenant,because she'll only pull this again,and again thinking tears and a partial payment will save her behind. Time for her to learn a very belated life lesson. Good Luck!

Thanks Teena! This was tough as I do like her and I have never had this problem in 15 years! I have issued 30-day notices before but those tenants took me seriously and actually moved out, lol!

Hi again! You're quite welcome. I'm learning a lot on this forum myself. Liking someone can make it a bit difficult,but that's the reason we want to keep it professional,as in any other business. I'm happy your business has been relatively smooth for that long a time! But the law of averages says we're going to get a screw-up...no matter how hard we screen it seems. You wrote she is a shopoholic,that pretty much guarantees she'll put herself in this position again is why I advised eviction now.Like a drug addict unless they get some pro help they can't control this compulsion/ or until she learns and applies life's priorities,which is the roof over your head ;the Jimmy Choo's later.... Good Luck

My tenant has my bank account #. I gave her 3 day notice. How I could avoid situation that she would deposit money to my account after I file eviction. I really want her out of my house.
