I'm in Tennessee and I have a renter who has not paid July rent. I know they haven't paid because they are wanting me to evict them, thus canceling the lease, so they can move somewhere else. I don't want to evict them/cancel the lease; I want them to have to continue living-up to their part of the contract. If I evict, then I have to go through all the trouble of fixing the place up and renting it again. It seems like I'm the one being punished if I evict them. I know I can evict and then sue for the time the house was open, but I want to force them to pay the full amount they agreed to. Do I have options to forcing them to continue paying me rent, and not evicting?
