[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s probably too late to advise you not to buy rental properties in DC becaus renter’s rights....

Give them 30 days notice to pay you the back rent or you’ll start the eviction process. [/quote]

Can't start the process.  In DC right now, because of COVID, you can't kick someone out.  Quite frankly, you should be happy that you are getting the 80%.  I know people who are renting at market and people are paying rent.  We have a friend whose tenant is stiffing them on $3500 per month and they also have a job.  They work for the state department and are using this as an opportunity to get over.

I would be reporting this to the state department,[/quote]

+1  We have a military contractor pulling this crap.  It took a little work but I have her CO's number now in my speed dial.  If she is late or calls with a sob story one more time then I'm calling the CO.  I don't care what happens to her clearance.  She is paying for private school but she can't pay her rent?  C'mon now.

A lot of people are taking advantage of the pandemic.  Liars and cheaters are gonna lie and cheat, and I'm gonna expose the lies and cheats every single time.  We worked hard to afford to buy the rental and it is part of our retirement plan.  I have a responsibility to my family first and I'm not going to stand still and be robbed by someone who doesn't have a moral code.[/quote]

+1. But you should have called the CO yesterday.

This is why I prefer my virginia rentals. 2 of no rent weeks and the sheriff is at your door with guns and it’s either you leave or you’re forcibly removed. [/quote]

Nice... says a person who's been through a physical eviction confrontation with multiple sheriffs. Lessons learned, all good.[/quote]

Next time pay your rent or move.[/quote]

+1  I'm the poster with the military contractor tenant.  It is actually my parents' property and I am managing it now along with some others they have.  My military dad has a soft heart.  Me, not so much when we're talking about part of my folks' retirement income.  Anyway, the poster who said I should have called yesterday is right and I -finally- got my dad to agree that enough is enough. Mr. Nice Guy has passed the baton to his B daughter.  Be aware!
