Re: tenants debt and percentage allowed

When is appears that your tenant will not be paying you rent, you really should begin the eviction process.

The more indebted your tenant becomes to you, the less likely he or she is to pay you. Even if you were to evict your tenant, you are unlikely to recover any of this back rent.

Speak to an experienced attorney today and begin the eviction process.
