I am helping an uncle to chase this tenant to pay rent.

Contract say pay by 10th, but today is 23rd...

My rule of thumb is tenant cannot owe more than 1 month, otherwise evict.

Its a small commercial lot in a small shopping mall.

This tenant appears to have closed his hp, after I tried calling numerous times and sent watsapp reminders.

Any options?

If in event tenant owe > 1 mth, I evict...can I hire a lawyer to write a simple letter to tell them to go?

Other than that, is there a cheaper way to evict ? I don't want to take 6 months and get a court order costing me 6k, jsut to evict.

planning to do soon as the property is some distant to where i live

Important thing is the fella already past the 10th date.

I am very strict on this, cannot > 1 mth, else evict
