I appreciate the advice, Garry. At this point in time, I don't even know if the rent is going to be late or not - I'm just trying to be ready for if/when sh!t hits the fan. Considering it's only the 2nd, I won't text them until the 6th. I'd rather work with them being a little late here and there than have to evict them, renovate/repair, advertise, interview, etc. It's cheaper to work with them, even if they are late.

Texting (and making copies of them for a judge to see) are probably ok for daily communications, but unless your actual state laws allow for texting as an official notification, you should always send official notices by way of regular and certified mails, and postings on front doors. If you should get all the way into court, and a judge throws out your text messages, because the actual laws only allow for mailed notices, you'll have to start all over again, which could cost you both time and 1-2 extra months of lost rent. This is where you knowing your state's LL/T laws by heart, come into play.

I only text them when it comes to unofficial communication. Anything official is sent via certified mail or taped to their entrances and photographed.
