re: Is it time to evict my tenant?

Just to follow up to my original post, Spoke to my renter in person yesterday, seems she is tapped out. She provided me with the details of what is going on.
1) she had an unexpected car repair which cost $450 dollars, she actually provided me with documentation of the repair done.
2) she had to purchase a new medical device for her daughter unexpectedly. Insurance only covered a portion so she was out almost another $1,000.00 provided documentation on this as well. ( my wife is a HR / benefit manager so we know she is being upfront in regards to this)
If this was my families source of income I would evict her, but it's our only property and will sell it when it becomes vacant.
We developed a plan for her to get caught up.
1) next Friday is the 4th she must pay us all of October rent out of that paycheck.
2 she will be allowed to skip partial payment on 11/15 but must make full payment on 11/30 for November
Lastly we are going to allow her to skip rental payment in December , but on 1/15 she must pay all of December. Then We will go back to partial payments. On 1/30.
I had my lawyer make necessary revisions to the lease agreement and signed. She understands if she cannot uphold her end of this agreement she will be evicted. We want to help but at some point everyone has to be accountable. We feel this is more than fair

I've got similar situation but with a couple that has children without special needs. I've been renting houses a long time and long term tenants that aren't destroying your property are hard to find and every time I get frustrated that they're behind on the rent, I remind myself of that. I also cringe to think of the amount of work I'm going to have to do to get it ready for the next tenant and how many times I'll likely do that before I find another long term tenant.

Man it sucks but you're not running a charity house. You've been fair with her and understanding. After a while it becomes unfair to both parties if you let it continue. Wish her luck forgive her month and half non payment and send her on her way.

Don't officially evict her. It will completely screw her to have an eviction on her history. But you own your rental property at the end of the day to make money. She and her daughter can move to a different house for less rent. Don't give her no options, but that could be a good suggestion. It is tough, but you have been fair with her, so she should be fair with you.

Garnish wages

Is there anyway that she can do some sort of work for you in order to give her credit for that to reduce the amount she owes.

I once lived in a great apt where the manager would offer me first choice of jobs there that needed to be done such as changing outdoor lightbulbs, cleaning apts when tenants moved out, changing doorknobs after tenants moved out, painting, etc. She appreciated having me there on the property caring for it and knowing that i did a good job,

So is there anything your tenant can do to reduce her the amount she owes? Even if it is personal things such as weeding your garden, doing housework you don't want to do (like cleaning ceiling fans, pressure-washing your driveway, etc).

I currently have friends who have borrowed money (economy and job market hitting them hard) and I am working it out with them so they can work it off by detailing my car, changing the oil, brakes, etc, moving my mamas furniture into storage, asst cosmetic work on my lil camp, etc.

I am working out their debt this way because I know my friends are in a financial bad spot and don't want them being worried about paying me back so we are working it thru trading labor for payments.
