Re: Getting payment for renters
You can evict the tenant, and continue to go after the tenant for the money that wasn't paid. However, as a practical matter it may be difficult, because you have to know the former tenant's new location and the former tenant could move from place to place, or hide his/her location to make collection more difficult.
