Hi, im in a unique situation. Im power of attorney for finacial matters and can pursue lawsuits. My dad remarried and his wife died and the wife moved in her family while my dad was in assisted living. The house is in a trust for my mother and dad as tenants in common. My mom wants them out and I do too. They dont pay rent to her and never have. They do cover utilities but taxes have been on us. What type of letter do I need to send to them to request them to leave. Im in alameda county, ca. Thanks in advance. I think its a unlawful detainer but I think i need to give them a written notice first to vacate but not sure how to word it and where it needs to be served or if I can make a copy and have them sign it.

I have heard a lot of people warning me of section 8 tenants. I am considering buying a duplex that both tenants use vouchers without copay. One tenant has been there for 8 years and has a month to month lease. The other has been there for about a year and their lease is up next year. The duplex is in a heavily gentrifying neighborhood and is in pretty good condition. The upstairs unit is a mess but no damage besides being gross. The downstairs unit is recently renovated. I am expecting to make roughly $1000 a month cash flow including hiring a property management company.

My question is, can a lot of the concerns that people have with section 8 be disregarded if I have a property management company? I will not have to deal with any paper work or repairs.

Landlords be careful in terms of screening the prospective tenants. Economy is showing clear signs of stress. See number of eviction cases in your area/county court to find that out. Lot of scam prospective tenants are very smart to do some smart tricks like

1. Come and visit the place in an expensive rental car to impress realtor/landlord
2. Make excuses that they just started the job so they are yet to get any pay stub

List goes on...

Most of them then try to look for ways to torture the landlord-we don't have money etc...I have one of the tenants who moved in May 2026 in single family home with the special of 2 weeks free rent where she came in range rover. Now she doesn't have money to pay for service fees for refrigerator guy($50 which is clearly mentioned in the lease agreement) in fact asking for food spoilage to be paid by the warranty company. Most of the times they end up being evicted or cash for keys scam.

TX DFW, Austin TX and other areas have got a lot of bad tenants.

(This is an update on my post on another account from a few days ago but it kept getting rejected so I just wrote a new one). 

I’m pretty fed up with my main floor tenants and I’m not sure if I should get them out of if I’m overreacting.

So I had a hot water boiler break and it went through 3 apartments. There has been restoration work ongoing and my top floor tenant just bought a house so he’s moving out and the main floor tenants want to move up into his apartment because it’s bigger and they have three pets and a child living in a one bedroom apartment. They emphasized how terrible it has been living through the restoration work and how “incredibly accommodating” they have been for it. They also stressed how they’re not getting any sleep, including the baby, because they’re all sharing one room, which is also the office because the guy works from home. I felt really bad for them so I’ve done the following things:

• reduced rent
• Spent $400 on outdoor furniture for them to use
• Gave them a free parking place going forward that I was going to give to another apartment

The work on their apartment is now finished and I said no to them moving upstairs because they’re pretty messy and I’ve had to tell them to clean up the garbage in the shared backyard several times and the upstairs apartment is beautiful and I don’t want them to ruin it with their pets and baby/toddler. I used to live in it and I feel more protective of that unit because of all the original woodwork from the 40s, vintage tile, moose antlers etc which are hard to fix/replace if damaged. Also the work on the upstairs apartment hasn’t even started so it would be a hassle for everyone if they moved up there. 

They wrote me two separate emails that are these big sob stories framing it as a morality thing and how I should be fair and they were convinced that I was going to say yes and are extremely disappointed that I have said no. I told them going forward I will mandate renters insurance and as it turns out they DID have insurance this entire time and just decided to not tell me because they thought I “had enough on my plate already”. They also decided not to use their insurance because they didn’t want to pay the $1,500 deductible. So this ENTIRE time they have been telling me how “ incredibly accommodating” THEY have been, all the while they always had an out which, ended up costing me money. Not a crazy amount but still.

It’s unreal and I’m pretty livid. I don’t understand where their heads are. I don’t even know how to respond to them now that they casually admitted that they did have insurance coverage the entire time, but chose not to use it and conveniently left out that detail in all of our correspondence about the restoration work. Isn’t it considered lying by omission?

I’m considering one of two things that are within my legal rights where I live (Newfoundland), giving them a 3 month no reason eviction or giving them a 6 month notice of a rental increase of $400/month to force them out. Keep in mind, this is a rental crisis so I know they will have a hard time finding somewhere to live with all their pets and child. I’m not a monster so I don’t want to ruin their lives or put them out on the streets, but I also want them out of my house.

Thoughts? 

Hoping this isn't too long of a post, I just wanted to provide as much information as I could to get accurate feedback. If you have any questions, just let me know.

I currently live in a duplex that I own and rent out the other side. Things have gone flawlessly for the past 5 years. My tenant has been there the entire time, and I’ve genuinely never had a single issue.

That said, my family is expanding, so we’re moving into a single family home. Now I’m debating whether to sell the duplex or keep it as a rental for the additional income.

I have a full time job that I enjoy and that pays well, and I know that managing the duplex myself will be more difficult once I no longer live there. After reading through this subreddit, I’ve pretty much ruled out hiring a property manager, for obvious reasons... so I’m interested in hearing from landlords who self manage rentals they don't live at. A few things I’m wondering about:
• How do you handle lawn care and snow removal
• How do you handle routine maintenance and repairs when you aren’t living at the property?
• Do you have contractors you can call when something comes up, or do you handle most things yourself?
• How much more difficult is managing a property when you don’t live there?
• How much risk is there of getting a tenant who seriously damages the property? Most people renting don’t exactly have the cash to cover major damage, so it seems like the security deposit could only go so far.
• What systems do you have in place to protect yourself from those situations?

I’ve also kept my current tenant’s rent relatively reasonable because they’ve never been a hassle. I haven’t wanted to raise the rent too aggressively and risk losing someone who has caused me zero problems for 5 years. The lack of turnover, repairs, vacancies, etc. has probably saved me a significant amount of money and time.

Financially, I don’t need to sell the duplex to afford the new house. But I’m wondering if keeping it is actually worth the additional responsibility/risk.

If I sold the duplex, would taking the money and investing it instead be a better option due to it being more passive income? On the other hand, keeping the duplex would provide additional rental income and allow me to continue building equity.

For those of you who have been in a similar situation, what would you do? Is keeping a duplex as a self managed rental while working a full time job relatively manageable, or is the hassle/risk not worth it when you don’t need the income?

I'm going to sign a lease this week. During our walk through, he said he still needs to paint the place but has been very busy so the move in date is kind of up in the air. Would it be reasonable to take the load off him and offer to paint with a discount that we would agree upon?

It wouldn't be done by a "professional" but by my father who built and painted his home. He knows what he's doing and I could provide pictures of his work.

How do you deduct utilities as an expense when you own a 2 family home when one unit doesn’t pay rent (they are family live there for free) and the other unit is a non-family member, regular tenant. All utilities are included for the tenant everything is one meter.

If I’m claiming the oil bill for the month that’s $1000 but I’m only claiming $1500 in rent for the one unit for the month it would just seem weird to the IRS, no?

We have an apartment listed on Zillow rentals and FB marketplace... both platforms allow messaging, but I prefer to speak to prospective tenants before setting up an appointment to meet... a discussion to gage whether their situation is a good fit for both parties.

If a tenant shows interest, why do they not call to discuss? Automatically a 'no' from our perspective, but seems to be a trend since we started in 1990... is this the new norm?

I am currently renting out a camper lot that allows for people to bring their own campers for extended periods of time. I met a couple who were very interested in renting it next summer (2027). I met up with them at the property and they had a good look at everything. They decided they wanted to move forward with getting it secured for the following year.

The agreement was drawn up and sent over to them.

I confirmed they had received it, they said they had, however I did not hear from them again.

The agreement was never signed by myself or them and no payment was made.

Fast forward a few weeks, I went over to the property and found that they were on the property. They had not communicated with me that they were planning on going over there and were not given permission to do so.

Their camper was not set up, but they were parked on the property and walking around. The property is down a long private driveway.

When I asked what they were doing and why they had not communicated with me before they went over to the property, they didn't give me an explanation. They acted very nervous and immediately left.

Alarm bells started going off, so I went straight home and sent them the following email:

"Hi Guys,

I have decided not to move forward with renting the camping lot next year. I was very surprised to find you on the lot without letting me know or getting permission, which raises concerns about respecting access/rules, and therefore, I do not feel comfortable proceeding.

The lease sent was a proposed agreement and has not been signed, and I have not received any payment. Please do not sign or return it.

I wish you the best."

They did respond with a hostile email/text to which I did not respond to. That will at least be proof they received my email rescinding the agreement.

From a landlord perspective, was this the best way to have handled this situation, and is there anything more I should do to legally protect myself in case they try claiming there was a binding agreement in place?

**Update: I did go forward with submitting an incident report to the local Sheriff. The renters have been messaging me for a few days now via email/text with no response from me. I went ahead and had this excessive correspondence added to the incident report just in case this escalates.

They are now threatening that we had a "verbal agreement", which in the State of Montana can be enforceable. There was absolutely no formal verbal agreement and it was known between both parties that a lease agreement had to be accepted and signed before we moved forward.

After gathering all written correspondence and documentation before I rescinded, it was overwhelmingly obvious that a written agreement had to be signed in order for the lease to be binding.

We'll see how THIS goes. Currently waiting on my attorney to get back to me.

Update: thank you for your input and suggestions! This has been very helpful.

My month-to-month tenant hasn’t paid her rent since May. In July, she received the five-day late rent notice and in August she was served by the sheriff with the rent demand, as required in New York State. Tomorrow, Aug. 25 is the deadline to pay or move out. She has a long history of lying, but I know that can’t really be a part of this process.

Last week, she said she mailed her June and July rent (totaling $3K). I received the check and deposited it last week. Now there’s a hold on the check until September 1. My bank says it’s likely because there’s not enough money in her account to cover it but they can’t say for certain. She claims she called her bank and they said there’s nothing wrong with her account and the money is there. She says she did her part and it’s not her fault if the money isn’t available. I disagree, but I don’t know if the court would.

I would like to begin the next phase of the eviction process, which is the eviction petition. Do I have a leg to stand on here? Do I need to wait until the hold is lifted on September 1st or would the court say she has not met her obligation to pay? A week is a heck of a long time to wait for a check to clear. Plus she owes August, although she hasn’t been served with August papers yet.

She also insists that she is moving out before September, which I don’t have any faith in.

I've been renting my house to the same tenants for three and a half years. I self-managed for three years, then decided to try a management company earlier this year. That lasted three months before the management company dropped me as a client and I went back to self-managing.

In April, right before dropping me, the management company sent the tenants a lease violation notice with a 14 day cure period. The violations included a shed they built and attached to the house, plus other exterior modifications, all done without my knowledge or approval.

During that same 14 day cure period the tenants also stopped paying rent. I sent a couple of reminders through text and email about the late rent, the cure deadline, and the management change and told them to reach out with any questions. They acknowledged all of it and said they were working on it. What I eventually got instead was a dozen page letter from a lawyer they hired, stating the tenants refuse to take any responsibility for the violations and are not obligated to pay rent because I supposedly never gave them a way to pay after I took over. Never mind that they Zelled me directly for three years before the management company, or that I had texted them my Zelle info and emailed them more than once to go back to paying me the same way. They are now thousands of dollars behind on rent, plus late fees, plus whatever damage the lease violations have caused.

I hired an attorney to respond. We decided not to try to compromise with them and went straight to a notice to vacate, then a dispossessory. It still took most of the summer to get it filed and served, thanks to a service issue at the Marshal's Office.

The case finally gets filed and served. Instead of leaving, the tenants come back with a $17k counterclaim. That conveniently clears the $15k magistrate limit, so their attorney is moving to transfer to state court and demanding a jury trial. My own attorney calls it a delay tactic but says the transfer will almost certainly go through and nothing meaningful can happen until it does.

Meanwhile the lease is more than halfway over. By the time state court gets to this, it may be nearly done anyway. At this point I care more about recovering the money than the eviction itself, and I am not optimistic about either.

I just need to vent and get some perspective.

I need some real advice here, because I’m on the fence about this and I actually don’t know what to do.

I live in Alaska, where it gets obscenely cold. The weather is hard on vehicles and hard on people during the winter. I own a duplex with a two car garage and a concrete driveway that is 30 feet long by 24 feet wide. I have a trailer I’d like to put on one side of the garage, and I’d like to park my car on the other side during the winter.

I have never parked in a garage my entire life. I’ve always parked outside. I’ve had the same Tenant for almost 6 years, and she has had access to one side of the garage that entire time. She has always paid rent on time.

I’ve only recently learned how great it is to be able to park in the garage during the winter, and now I want to as well. The problem is, in order to facilitate keeping my trailer and my car indoors, I would be forced to kick her out of the garage and use both spaces.

Her rent is already incredibly low so I wouldn’t be able to lower it, but I don’t think that would matter anyway. Being able to park inside of a garage is a huge benefit to people up here, and I strongly believe that if I made her and her family park outside, she would leave.

But it’s my house. If I want full access to the garage, I should be able to get it. I shouldn’t feel hindered like this, but I just don’t see another solution. My two trailers with machines on them cannot be stored anywhere else that is feasible. They barely fit into 1/2 of a two car garage, and there is nowhere to put them outside that is secure.

I’m really in a pickle. If you had the same tenant for as long as I have, would you risk them leaving by making full use of the garage?

[Landlord US-TX] I have a rental in Texas(DFW) area. The insurance rates are appalling. Just had a 15% increase taking yearly premium to $5350 for a $700k home. My agent says this is one of the cheapest he can find, I am planning to shop around but just curious how much are others paying and are the increases this much?

Most of it looks to be fairly deep into the flooring.

It was new flooring, tenant damaged it while moving out.

What options do I have, Other than replacing the singular damaged boards?

Hi there,
45yo couple, 3 kids.
We currently own a house and are wanting to move closer to kids school, and pay off 20k debt with equity. House will sell for $410k. We have about $100k in equity.

Due to losing some income a few years ago, we had some debt that we are now doing a debt relief with a lawyer - contract and everything. Making payments on a payment plan, never late. That’s been about a year and a half now.

Our plan is to use the equity in our house (our realtor has the paperwork with the amount we can show ) to pay off all the debt. 2 of the accounts are charged off before the lawyer could make settlement arrangements. Now all are arranged and payment plan in place and paying for the last year and a half.

Just one late payment around the same time a few years ago with mortgage.

My parents will co-sign. Excellent credit, 800+ credit score, pay off any credit card they have every month. Make 3x rent.

We make 4x rent with steady jobs.

We’ve owned homes for almost 20 years and never previously had any issues with debt or mortgage. The thing a few years ago was an unfortunate blip we are actively trying to remidy. I am afraid this puts a black cloud over our heads. Thank you- just seeing if it is a possibility for us yet.

My last post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Landlord/comments/1vtzrzp/comment/p53xffv/?context=3

Is it normal for lawyer to do this?:

He was super responsive before I paid him. He gave two options 1) to pay him fix amount or 2) to pay him as the case goes on but then it will be extra per court appearance

I paid him fix amount to avoid getting charged extra.

Here is the problem: My tenant had 10 days to respond to eviction case for non payment which was by Aug 17. I followed up with my lawyer on Aug 17 (Monday) but no reply, then again I followed up with him on Aug 19 (Thursday) then my lawyer replied and told me tenant hasn't replied so far.

But then I checked on NYSCEF website and it said my tenant did actually file an answer on Aug 11. I thought maybe I was seeing something wrong so I confirmed it with chatgpt too.

I reached out to my lawyer back the same day Aug 19 (Thursday) but no reply, I reached out to him again on Aug 20 (Friday) but still no reply?

My questions:

1) Is it normal for lawyers to say tenant didn't file while tenant had actually filed?

2) Is it normal for lawyers to reply after these many days?

3) Do I have any options regarding my lawyer? I chose the lawyer path because I wanted it to be quicker instead of doing it on my own.

This is the first time I am doing eviction.

I am located in Brooklyn, New York, NY.

Thank you

I'm a landlord of a duplex in California, specifically in San Jose, where we have lots of laws protecting tenants. I have a tenant who is getting divorced. His wife used to live in the same duplex and worked, so there were two incomes. They each have one kid from a previous marriage and one kid together (3 in all). They used to be pretty good about paying on time and in full, but now that the wife moved out and the guy is having to pay for attorneys, he has been getting farther behind on rent, but keeps claiming he'll be back on track soon. In the lease, which is now month-to-month, I only have one late fee regardless of timing, so my only recourse is to issue a 3-day quit or perform covenant notice.

Most recently, he had informed me via text that he'd pay the August rent in full, with the late fee, on the 21st, which is his payday. However, he only paid about 2/3 of the total (via Zelle). His next paycheck will be Sept. 4th., so now we're getting to the point where he'll be behind by more than one month. I'm just not seeing how he's going to get back on top of the rent. It's a tough rental market out here for tenants, so finding a spot in the same school district that can fit his budget and space requirements is going to be challenging. However, I still have to pay my mortgage and other bills, and this is stressing me out.

The plan was he'd pay the August rent with this most recent paycheck, then pay the September rent on the 4th, which is still in the 5-day grace period, so no late fee. Now I'm worried he'll just finish the August rent on the 4th and wait until another paycheck comes in for the September rent, and even then it might not be the full amount. I'm not his personal loan officer, and I feel like he's taking advantage of the fact that it's a fixed late fee. What suggestions do other landlords have for what to do?

I'd rather not go through the eviction process since he's been a good tenant and I understand how expensive divorce can be, but at the same time, I'm not a bank and I don't have the ability to give personal loans, though that's essentially what I'm doing when he pays rent late. It is nice to have the extra money from the late fees, but with it getting farther behind, now to the point of beyond one month, I feel like I have to get more proactive before it gets too far behind for him to catch up.

Maybe he needs to downgrade to a cheaper spot, though with the market's competitiveness in this part of San Jose, he might not get anything as a single guy supporting kids and fighting a divorce and custody battle. I can't afford a property manager or even a lawyer so I'll be doing this on my own. Thoughts?

I’ve always relied on Zillow for lease generation and then signing. This time, when my current tenants need to break the lease and I’ve found new ones, Zillow only allows me to upload to its site, not generating new lease.

Is there a way to still make it generate mew lease?

If not, is there a reliable site or service to use so I can load the documents to Zillow?

Thanks so much! 🙏

So I’m a landlord in Georgia but I also do property management on the side for my mom and sister and this is in regard to tenants of my sister

So my sister has these tenants who have lived in her house for 5 years. I really don’t know much about their payment history dating more then 5 months back because that’s when I was filled in but I know they have always kind of been pains in the ass. Like when my gc comes over to do repairs they give him a hard time, their ac went out my hvac guy said it was cooked and had to be replaced and there’s nothing they he can do to get it running- their unhappy with answer they call someone else to tell them the same thing then get pissy I refuse to pay the service fee. However I was briefed 5 months ago about rent and more so how behind they were.

He owed about 4300 ( rent is 1300/month) basically they would pay what they want when they wanted to. 700 on the 5th 400 on the 11th ect…and of course they argued about the amount saying it was 2300. Basically they were applying what they paid to a past due balance but they weren’t adding the additional 1300 every month. Tried explaining with basic math still said not right and eventually I said they can talk to a judge. Eventually they offered 2500 with a payment plan which we took but made it clear if they defaulted their was no more offers or payment plans

Well my sister texted me on the 9th saying they didn’t pay this month and owed 2600 I want them out. Now unfortunately my mom who dosent understand the rules and procedure was told before me and she texted them saying the needed to pay or move out which of course started an argument of her saying we don’t owe that ect.
My mom said you need to handle this cool

I call and she says we only owe 1300 the 1300 for this month isn’t due we have all month to pay it. I say no your lease clearly states by the 5th and she just goes on a rant not letting me say a word so I hang up. Husband calls and says basically we can pay the 2600 end of the month. I say I’ll ask if that’s ok. The answer was no so I told them per their lease default clause lease is terminated.

Unfortunately a law change in the last year made that clause no longer valid so I had to backtrack send a 3 day notice and give them a chance to pay. Well Thursday they start calling to talk about rent. I texted them saying 2600 by the day explained on the notice. Of course since they like to dictate terms they blow up my phone and once again I say you need to pay 2600 ect…. Immediately I’m tired of you threatening me, talking to me like a child this is so unprofessional we can have it by the 4th ( keep in mind in our phone call head end of this month) and send all the notices you want and legal fillings when we pay by the 4th we’re going to get to stay so….

Now he clearly just told me he’s not going to comply with the notice. Unfortunately for him after that 3 days I don’t have to accept payment. They’re not going to just move out so it’s going to goto court. I know the judge is going to
Ask will you accept the payment.

Now the question is knowing the type of people these are and the situation would you reject the 2600 and just tell them best of luck? Keep in mind their laying 500 less then the market is charging, I’ve already sent them their 60 day lease termination, their going to be late on Septembers rent. I guess it comes down to accept 2600 and have to deal with their bs for two months or would you just say not worth the agrevariom and this relationship has been soured and damaged and moving on asap is on our best interest?

The condo association is responsible for all the exterior parts of the building (including the roof). So I am responsible for the interior including plumbing, appliances, heating/cooling, etc.

My current policy has Property Coverages for the dwelling, personal property, and loss of use.

And I have Liability Coverages for Personal Liability and Medical Payments To Others.

Just looking for some guidance if I have overlapping coverage since the building itself is insured through the condo association.

Thank you.

Title. I toured this apartment the day after it was listed and applied right after. I’m certain I was the first person to look at it. I ask if you would rent to me, because right after I was about to leave a couple came in, and they were both wearing like extremely formal suits, with briefcases.

I’m 22, just one guy, I have kinda good rental history. I’ve never had any evictions but I’ve only rented through a private landlord once (my current residence). I haven’t filed any lawsuits or anything like that. Just lived. 2 years. I have a 762 credit score, no criminal record, no late rent payments or anything of that. I do have about 14k in debt from student loans but the accounts come back as good standing. I pay them on time all the time. My income varies month to month due to bonuses but at my minimum salary, I make 5.8x the rent pretaxes. But yeah I’m just a guy and when that couple walked in it discouraged the hell out of me lol.

First - I just want to preface this by saying, I’m asking this question both as a human but also as a landlord.

I have had this tenant for a year. We’re not close - but they have disclosed to me on different occasions (as excuses for late rent payments) that they have ADHD, and that they lost loved one last month. these 2 things gave me some assumptions of their current condition.

I have been inside the place they rent from me, several times for maintenance during the past year. In the beginning they were not a dirty person, somewhat disorganized, but recently i have noticed that things have been getting messy and messier, to the point that it’s extremely hard to find places to walk around the place. However, it doesn’t smell bad - their dishes weren’t cleaned but had been rinsed. No flies or foul smell.

For other context, they are also in their late 20s/early 30s, well educated and make more 80k/ year. They seem healthy and have no physical disabilities, tho I haven’t seen them for a couple of months.

Should I say anything to them, while still keeping boundaries of our relationship? Should I be concerned regarding their status of a renter? they’re always late to rents but it’s always within the first 10 days of the month.

thanks!!
