I don't know your state law but you can look them up on line too. I believe better safe than sorry start all over and next time it would be all or nothing get them out and get someone in there that actually wants to pay their rent. There are actually people out there that target us and hope that we make one little mistake so they can sue you for their lifelong treasures and they just put junk in there. Be careful. I hate to feel that way but it is just the facts. It didn't take me long to figure this game out. I have one that goes into lien every 2 months and she always pays at the last minute and trust me I make her pay dearly. Advertising costs, cut lock costs all the late fees certified letter fees and all. But I have it in their contract they know it is coming so there are no surprises
