Here are some steps you can consider to address the situation with your tenant:

1. Document Everything: Keep a record of all communications, payments, and any agreements made with the tenant.

2. Draft a Lease Agreement: Even if you think she might not sign it, having a formal lease can clarify terms and expectations.

3. Communicate Clearly: Try to have a calm discussion about the rent and property condition. Explain your expectations and any consequences of not meeting them.

4. Consider Legal Action: If the situation doesn't improve, you might need to consider legal action to evict the tenant or recover unpaid rent.

5. Consult a Lawyer: It might be helpful to consult with a local attorney who specializes in landlord-tenant law for specific advice.

I have someone staying on our property in their RV. For 9 months, no rent has been paid, even though rent is supposed to be $1,000 per month. She has four junk vehicles, one camper trailer, a utility trailer, a bunch of random junk, and a big RV that she lives in. What should I do? She paid $900 last month but now wants to pay only $300 this month. What steps should I take? I'm writing up a lease agreement, but I don't think she will sign it. Please help.

I understand how frustrating it can be to deal with a tenant who isn't following the rental agreement. How long has this person been living on your property without a formal lease?

9 months.

Lexi, Chatbot

Have you had any previous discussions with her about the rent and the condition of the property?

Not in too much detail. She's hot-headed.

Is there anything else the Landlord-Tenant Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with your tenant issue.

No.
