Overview
Evictions are expensive, slow, and usually preventable. Most begin with a missed conversation at day 10, not day 40.

Evictions drop when screening criteria are published and applied consistently, delinquency is contacted in the first week, and a written payment arrangement is offered before the balance passes a month's rent. Most evictions begin with a conversation that did not happen at day ten.

Screening consistency sets the baseline. Published income and rental-history criteria applied identically to every applicant reduce risk at the front and give you a defensible record at the same time.
Early contact is the intervention that works. A resident one or two weeks behind usually has a fixable problem; the same resident six weeks behind is facing a balance they can no longer clear, and the outcome is largely decided.
A written arrangement is worth more than a promise. It puts a schedule on the ledger, gives the resident something to succeed at, and — if it fails — produces the documented history that any later step depends on.
A single eviction costs thousands in lost rent, legal fees, and turnover — often more than the balance owed.
Publish screening criteria. Contact at day 5. Offer a written payment arrangement by day 15. File only as a last resort with a documented trail.
Ayillo surfaces delinquency on day one, tracks payment arrangements against the ledger, and keeps the full notice history on the lease.
Less risky than an unmanaged balance, provided it is written, tracked against the ledger, and does not unintentionally waive rights. Have the form reviewed for your jurisdiction, since accepting payments can affect pending notices.
As a last resort, after documented contact and a declined or failed arrangement. Procedures, notice periods, and permitted grounds are state and local law — this is where professional advice belongs.
Base price is not what you pay. The hidden costs of property management software — add-ons, integrations, SMS, and staff time — and how to find them.
