We only encountered that situation once or twice, though. In general, if you are responsive to complaints/questions, you'll have very happy renters!

Not sure of your laws these, but if they don't pay then give them the eviction notice right away (whatever your laws are). You need the income, so don't play nice. Evict right away if non payers.
