I hope it's not my sister
Kidding, she and her boyfriend are in Chicago and pretty good tenants from what I understand.
I'm surprised the eviction process is relatively short. In CT it's fairly difficult and drawn out. My grandfather had a tenant who rented a cottage from him for about 10 years or so on Coventry Lake. He decided that for the last 2 years he wasn't going to pay any rent. Or dispose of any garbage. Or do any of the pre-arranged maintenance. And complain about every little thing that needed repair.
I'm not up on the rental laws, but I think my grandfather had to wait six months before he could start the eviction proceedings and had to go through several promise-to-pay periods. IIRC it was over a year before he was finally evicted.
I am hoping to pick up a couple 2-3 family houses in the area over the next few years despite everyone's horror stories
