Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Why do you think that filing an agreement with your tenant in court will make her more likely to pay than your experience with her non-payment in the past? There may be a reason why she wants to avoid the hearing, but you have no incentive to do so. Nothing will cause her to pay except maybe if you appear for the hearing and she pays you before the hearing begins. You may notify her that you intend to go through with the hearing and the only way she can avoid having the hearing is to appear in court before the hearing begins with a money order or bank check payable to you for the full amount that she owes you, including interest due on it.

Good luck.

THIS RESPONSE IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED, AND I DO NOT HAVE A REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT WITH YOU.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.
