What is the procedure when a tenant doesnt pay rent?
All rents are due on the 1st day of the month and late on the 2nd. East Valley Property Management does not allow grace periods and expect all our residents to have their full rent to us on or before the 1st. If rent is not received by the 5th then a 5 day notice is sent as a written demand letter delivered by certified mail to the property notifying the resident to make payment immediately to avoid an eviction proceeding. If rent is not received after the legal notice period of 5 days is up, then our attorneys file a motion in the local Justice Court for a hearing and judgment against the resident for non-payment and removal from the property. If payment is was not received from the resident at the hearing, then an order from the Judge to remove the tenant is issued to the Courts Constable and within a week the property is returned to us. This entire process can be done within 4 weeks.
