Seriously you landlords? If you were late on a car payment a couple times, but paid all the appropriate fees and brought your balance current, wouldn't you be pissed if a guy showed up to repo your car because you were late a couple months and the bank would rather not deal with you? I suspect you would. I'm not sure what this person's situation is that led to a couple late months, but as long as the balance is current, I could care less. It's more money for me since the late fees don't cost me anything.

Being pissed because you don't like the consequence of your action doesn't change the consequence. Hopefully, it will change your action (in future). OP asked if eviction over late payments and smoking were legal. The proper answer is "yes". OP didn't ask if we liked it, or you liked it, or the legislators like it, she asked if it was legal and proper. The answer remains "yes". LLing is sometimes about taking your personality out of it and just doing business.

I'm a little more lax than many on here but I also have been taken more times than I should also. the difference between a car payment and rent is if the car payment doesn't come, the dealer/lender has some collateral - the car. They take the car, get what $$$ they can and can still come after the purchaser. As a landlord, it's the opposite. Not only is there nothing physical to take, they actually have possession of what brings the $$$ in, our properties. We still have the end recourse the car dealer has but the middle of the equation isn't stacked in our favor like the car dealers.
