I am a relatively new landlord and was hoping someone could key me in on proper procedure, as I have never been through this experience before and am hoping to avoid a mistake. I own a condo that I have rented out for the last year or so. For the most part no major problems. I signed a new lease with a new tenant starting on September 15th. He has always been a bit of a flake but was always communicative before. It was more of a situation where I had to remind him to pay his rent. Now he has disappeared on me. He has not paid December rent and is not responding to voicemails, emails or texts. How should I move forward from here? I want to be smart here and not make a mistake out of anger. I live about a half mile from the condo and am tempted to go over there to see what is going on. Bad idea?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
