Should I still evict tenant that’s moving out but owes back rent?

Tenant owes me back rent from Oct and November. Told me he’s moving out by end of Dec. I plan to sue him in small claims court for the back rent. Should I play save and go through the eviction process? I already gave him Pay or Quit Notice. Can one go through eviction and small claims court process at the same time? What would be a better way? Thanks.

Zet hem uit. Hij vertelde u hij zou betalen huur en ALS hij eind van December verlaat zal hij u drie maanden huur verschuldigd zijn. U zult waarschijnlijk een vonnis in het Kleine Hof worden van Eisen maar anderzijds moet u hem achtervolgen om te verzamelen!
Hij zal aan stijf u voor huur verdergaan zolang u hem om toelaat te blijven.
Let him go quietly and be happy he does not destroy the place.
YOU made a fortune, why screw the little guy even more ?

you should seek the advice of a legal professional familiar with your specific situation for proper advice in this matter.
personally I would go ahead with the eviction. in the event of having to sue for back rent you would be able to show your intent to collect rent. If you let them stay you may be subject to the “we thought she was being nice and letting us stay for free since she never kicked us out” defense. Your actions mean everything.

For formal eviction process will cost you need the end of the court process will cost you get judgement you may possibly never recover just send my tenant another notice and dont lose my casesjust take the courti dont send 30day eviction and then sue him in small claims and dont and then sue him.
The walls out and are probably pretty much judgment proof can go to small claims court and do not rip all the walls out and.
Evict.
He can tell you anything he wants, but you have no guaratee that he will leave.
If you do not file for eviction now, and he doesn’t leave, you will be out more rent money and lost time in the eviction process.
Get him out and then worry about the rent.
An eviction will hurt his chances of finding a decent rental for many years.
Once he’s gone, file in Small Claims for the rent and get that judgment. Judgments last for many years and can be renewed, in some states up to 20 years.
The judgment will ruin his credit. Some day he may want to purchase a house or car and he will have to clear up that judgment and pay your before doing so.
There are also other ways to collect a judgment – wage or bank account garnishment, liens, collections.
