    I've got a lot of deadbeat tenants lately. A few have skipped owing large sums. Other tenants at one project seem to have taken the cue to stop paying. I've usually done my own collections and lockouts, but it looks like I'm going to need someone reasonably active.

    Any suggestions? I've got a really good real estate attorney, but he is very expensive. I've used him for larger cases. This is more busy work, sadly. People seem to have lost any sense of obligation to honor a contract. I know times are bad, and I've been motivated to try to keep the tenants. Unfortunately, some of these guys have just no intention of paying.

    File with the JP court yourself

    1. Writ of citation in forcible detainer subpoenas them to court, if they don't show then....
    2. Three day vacate notice, it does what it says
    3. Writ of possesion. The Constable goes out and physically removes the contents from the property.

    I did it for years. Hollar if you and Max don't come up with something better.

    that's good stuff...but that doesn't get you a judgment for monies owed. that's just the eviction procedure.

    but you're dead on, AB. the eviction procedure can be done sans attorney.

    it's not soliciting when someone asks.

    I'll do it for you for a fee. But I don't think I can write about my collection methods here.
    ;)

    :D

    Ill pay you $100 if you use the word "fomfotable" in front of a jury or judge during one of your bankruptcy hearings.

    In fact, that should be your firm's slogan. "Its court time! People suppose to be fomfotable!!"
