The Problem / The Challenge

Andres Hernandez, a California-based investor, faced a challenging situation when a tenant in his property stopped paying rent in July 2022. Despite his efforts to work with the tenant and establish payment arrangements, the situation remained unresolved. With limited knowledge of the eviction process and no prior experience in handling such situations, Andres felt overwhelmed and unsure of how to proceed. Seeking a solution to regain control of his property and recover the unpaid rent, Andres hired 1836 Property Management to assist him.

The Solution

1836 Property Management understands the complexities involved in evictions and the legal process. We assessed Andres’ situation, reviewed the relevant documents, and prepared a comprehensive strategy to pursue the eviction and recover the unpaid rent, adhering to the specific legal guidelines applicable in Texas. These include:

  • Serve the Appropriate Notices: In accordance with Texas law, the eviction service team served the tenant with the necessary legal notices. This step ensured that the tenant was formally made aware of the consequences of continued non-payment.
  • Court Filings: The eviction service team prepared and filed the required legal documents with the appropriate Texas court to initiate the eviction proceedings. This step involved preparing the relevant eviction petition and providing evidence of the tenant’s non-payment of rent.
  • Court Proceedings and Appeals: After the initial filing, the case proceeded to court. The tenant contested the eviction, leading to a legal process that involved court hearings and possible appeals, in accordance with Texas law. The eviction service represented Andres Hernandez’s interests throughout the court proceedings, advocating for a fair and just resolution.
  • Rent Recovery: As part of the eviction process, the eviction service also pursued the recovery of the unpaid rent for the months during which the tenant had not paid, adhering to Texas guidelines. This involved presenting evidence of the outstanding rent owed and seeking a judgment in favor of Andres.

Results

However, thanks to the diligent efforts of the 1836 Property Management Team and their experience in handling similar cases in Texas, the results were favorable for Andres Hernandez:
