Any attorneys on here? I need advice for a commercial rental property that I own.?
I bought a building in the downtown area I live in the upper section. The downstairs was rented to a business when I bought the building but the business has since been sold and the new owner wanted to stay. We do not have a lease and are just going on a month to month basis. (Couldn’t get her to sign a lease.) She consistently pays the rent late and I am forced to call her at least once a month to ask for the rent. One month she told me she wasn’t going to pay because she didn’t have it. I told her I was making arrangements to evict her she changed her tune and said she would get caught up. She did but every month since then she pays so late that it is almost time for the next payment. I need this money to make the mortgage every month and so frustrated because twice I have had to take money out of my savings just to pay the mortgage on time. I am getting worried because she is late again this month. What are my rights here? Can I evict cheap pills online her? How much notice do I have to give her?
I live in ohio
littlelanasue, Good one! I would like to try it but would like to know ..have you ever been sued for this? This person is NOT easy to get along with.

I’m not sure what the laws are in your state, but I own commercial real estate myself. This is what I do. If I do not have a lease signed, and the rent is not paid by the 10th of the month, I change the locks on the doors. When they pay me the rent that is owed, plus the cost of changing the locks, they can get in. If they don’t like it, let them sue you! But, it will take at least 30 days for them to get you into court, and in the mean time….they are out of business!! Nothing is in writing! A few times of their door being locked, and they WILL pay. They pay you late, because they can. Let them see that they CAN’T!
Yes, you can evict her, and you should.
How much notice you have to give varies by area, so find out what it is in your area and evict her. I would think in a commercial property without a lease, a few days would be sufficient.
