Don't be creative, be honest. Advise that they alter their rental criteria...3x rent, 2yr favorable rental verifications, etc, etc...

First, not every answer will be liked. That is ok. Second, try making the argument you are trying to both (a) recoup funds, and (b) prevent unnecessary turnover. Then pull together your turn expenses, lost rent, services (paint/carpet) , (including value of in house time) and share your goals, those costs, and details of your lock step actions. Then ask genuinely if there is anything you missed. Let’s see if they offer anything constructive that they’ve seen elsewhere that works. Could be they value you more after you show them everything that’s on your mind and all that you’ve done. And maybe they will spot something in your steps they can help you improve. And if you’re in my area of the woods, here’s a new friend for you LOL!Loebsack Chris

Whatever happens first….eviction or assistance. File on time, at pre-ame or expiration of the 3 day or whenever is your due date and charge up fees. That’s all you can do.

There is nothing creative about money. They pay they stay. They owe they go. It's heartbreaking but honesty is the way to go.

They understand they just acting simple

Maybe see if a payment agreement is possible?
