Re: removing slow paying tenants
How a tenant may be evicted is subject to the terms of the signed lease agreement. Many leases provide that a tenant can be evicted for consistent late payments. Most leases also provide that previous "forgiveness" of late payment does not justify future late payments. Read the lease carefully and advise the tenant that in the future any late payment on the tenant's part will be considered a breach of the lease agreement and eviction proceedings will start immediately. Then the day a payment is late you can serve the three day notice to pay or quit, and commence eviction.
