I suggest a re-write of your rental contract with specific clauses that deal with late payments and eviction for cause.
Since you write the contract, have it reviewed by a lawyer, but don't cut any slack to the renter for late payment, or damage to property. Presently have 42 rent properties. Live got a lot easier when I started being harsh up front. Also.. suggest you pre qualify your renters just like you were loaning them money at a bank.. which you are, by giving them unfettered access and use of YOUR property, for rent fees. Life will have less stress. On Wed, Jul 20, 2016 at 12:35 PM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > DOH! > > From: Kaleb C.
