How to handle defaulting tenants?

[Justin]

I order to avoid any issues in the future, you need a written contract with your client, you need to clearly state the terms of renting your house in black and white.

Essentially, what this means is that if immediate action is not taken when the rent is late, a month down the line the landlord will find themselves with a possible second unpaid month looming. If the breach is not rectified within the 20 business day notice period, the landlord may proceed to terminate the lease agreement in writing, notifying the tenant that they are in unlawful occupation of the premises and that they need to vacate the premises immediately.

Passing through this process will help the landlord recover its money,so for this aspect you will need to save the tenant a warning letter at first then watch his reaction if he fails to comply I can tell you the only option is to ensure he quit the premisis so its can be lease out to another tenant

My parents have an estate where people Lodge in and are expected to remit some money yearly, but so many of the tenants are not willing to pay even after constant reminder. What is the best way to handle such individuals?

My uncle has a logde where he accommodates tenants. Once the building was done with, he handed everything to his lawyer.
The tenants pay directly to the lawyer, any misdemeanor would of course call for a legal action.
This has been the best way to tackle problematic tenants.

That is right. This contract is very important. It will guide your tenants well, especially on the payment of rent. It will even be very effective when they stop paying because the contact will be very useful when you sue them.

The best way to handle such tenants is to ask them to leave, the longer they stay in your building or apartment, the money you loss. If they refuse to leave then you can sue them and take them to court.

The best way is for you to call them together. Like call a general house meeting where you table the discussion out and let them make their opinion known. Then after this, if they are not will, fire them.

Now adays exposure as really make the world go global,so personally I do not need to struggle with a tenant all I need to do is give the tenant a document to sign before accommodating him or her.if the law is valuated I file a case in court

In such a situation, the property owner must have some residual power to deal with a defaulting tenant for redress or recovery of monies owed.
Keep payment records. .
Commence communication on record.
Inform the guarantor.

 

[Toyoabasi]

In a situation like this, I involve a legal body. I don't get directly involved with my tenants buy a lawyer does the collecting of money yearly and this method has been helpful.

You're right.
A legal body should come in here. Even if you give such tenants enough time, they still may not want to pay. This is what many landlords face.

I have alot of tenant that are defaulter. Some tenant are very wicked and stubborn. The way to deal with such people is take them to court. After giving them quit notice, the next thing to do for them is to take them to court.

Its better you take them to court and ensure that the law play its part,I have a tenant as well but he is not misbehaving,so dont take the law in your hand all you need to do is report such tenant to the law enforcement egency for proper accessment and settlement of any dispute you have with the tenant dont take the law in your hand,but I will advice you called such tenant talk to him at first and see what will be his reaction

When you own an apartment and you have tenants you have to set some rules and regulations that will govern and guide your tenants to comply

Sometimes some tenants still fail to pay on time due to one thing or the other, there was a time my neighbor travelled and was not in the country it wasn't planed she when for treatment, her rent expired, she could not pay on time, the landlord had consider her situation patiently before she paid.

Before renting a property, a contract for the agreed period of time and the amount of the payments must be registered before a notary or head office. This is in order to legally solve the situation you are going through. Since having such contract with its clauses there is the support of the security forces and get the results you expect.

That is the right way to go. But before you do that, make sure that you have a contract that you signed with them when the became your tenants. Otherwise, the court won't help you much.

I think legal action should take against the default tenant, that is the reasons why it is good to employ the services of a qualified lawyer when bringing in tenants to use our properties, by doing so the landlord will be prevented by taken law into his hand

That's right, there should be a legal agreement, this way you can have easy backing from the authorities if anything goes wrong, instead of waiting for things to go wrong before you start trying to correct it.

If you have a property and you are willing to rent it out for people , then rules and regulation must be made. You have to make them understand that failure to keep to the rules and regulation that has been agreed upon by two parties will lead to some consequences. Maybe you choose a punishment or you limit them of certain things.

I believe there's an agency that should deal on this kind of issue. If there isn't, then the government should make provisions on this. I think they make more laws to protect tenant than the landlords
