If you own rental property in Syracuse NY, then its only a matter of time before you deal with a bad tenant.  Maybe they don't pay rent on time, they cause trouble with the other tenants, or they have trashed the property.  In any situation there is always something you can do.  Here are 4 ways to deal with a bad tenant in your property.

Try To Reason With Them

Not every tenant is terrible.  Sometimes if you are respectful to them, they will be respectful to you.  This method does work with some of them.  If its a payment issue, if possible you could work with them for a few days. (not weeks or months)  If they are troublemakers with the other tenants, explain to them how this is causing the whole property to become a problem for you.  This is the first method I always choose and sometimes it works.

Eviction Process

Of course this is not what you want to do, we only make money when tenants are in the property and paying rent.  That said, sometimes bad tenants in Syracuse leave you no other options.  This can be a tricky legal process and laws in Syracuse NY generally favor the tenant so it may be an uphill battle.  In the past, I have always been able to get the tenant out if it was for non-payment.   This is the best option if you feel the relationship between you and the tenant can not be repaired.

Lay it on the line

Sometimes just telling your tenant that you will be pursuing eviction will be enough for them to stop the behavior they have been perpetrating or if its non payment then they sometimes come up with the money.  I have seen many new landlords get taken advantage of by not beginning the eviction process early enough.  Dont wait, get it started now. Tenants have a great way of making their problems your problems.

Sell your house

If you have considered or attempted the above methods and are just ready to call it quits, then it may be time to sell the house.  We have bought many houses in Syracuse NY from landlords due to the hassles of dealing with bad tenants.  Sometimes we buy the house with the bad tenants still in it.  (we will take care of the eviction)
