What is the name of your state? NM
Family of four lease term was up at the end of March. In mid-March they asked if they could extend, lease allowed for hold-over, rent increases from $1500 to $1650. They asked that I waive this lease specified rent increase. I said I would if they would commit to remaining in the property for sixty days (two months.) Rationale being it could be easier to rent a single family home when school is out. They accepted, all of this done via email, April 1st came, and
when I checked my online bank account saw their rent not. Emailed them, got this reply the next day:
"As for April rent, at this moment we do not have it, except in the form of security/legal deposit. We're working day and night and will pay rent as soon as we are able. You've seen the condition of the property so I hope you'll consider our efforts to keep it in show condition has some merit. This is not the way we pictured our business but it's our fiscal reality. I'm working day and night and will send you some portion by the 15th and the remainder including late fees by month's end with our deposit and additional funds as security. You're consideration is appreciated."
Lease specifies SD cannot be used for rent, posted 3 Day on the property door April 2nd, and mailed them a certified copy of the same same day. Naturally I am not honoring the agreement to waive the lease specified rent increase! I understand Metro Court is the venue for an Eviction Order. Can I get legal information on costs, steps, and best approach to get these tenets out? BTW both of the adults (plus two ES kids) are Realtors, they should know better. My thinking is that they are immoral at best, and crooks at worst.
