I received a call today from my PM that they have posted an eviction notice to the basement tenants in my house in Red Deer. Apparently the two tenants didn`t pay full rent for April and had promised to pay the remainder 4 days ago. They didn`t and so they received the eviction notice. My PM also directed the tenants to The Homeless and Eviction Fund. Apparently this is a governing body that will "bail out" the tenants for the remaining rent owed but is only a one time payment. One of the tenants recently lost his job and the other still has his.
So, my concerns are the following:
1. they get "bailed out" --but what about paying full rent in the future months (even though the tenant with the job is still responsible for all the rent if the other tenant doesn`t pay).
2. they pay the remaining rent--again what about future months?
3. they don`t pay and get evicted and I am looking for new tenants.
I am looking for any input/advice on this matter. in regards to the above two points. I am trying to be proactive but not sure what to do.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
