Leasing Agent Forgot to Collect Last Month's Rent

[Dave Bopp]

Hi BP!

I recently rented one of my units using a leasing agent who was referred to me by a friend. I provided my own lease which specified that first month's rent, last month's rent, and a security deposit were required at lease signing. The leasing agent overseeing the signing only collected a security deposit and first month's rent though. 

From a customer service standpoint, I think it would be unprofessional to go back to the tenant two weeks after they moved in to request last month's rent from them, but it is also specified in their lease that last month's rent was due at lease signing. I could see that coming back to bite me down the road should any issues arise with the lease. Would it be reasonable to ask the leasing agent to cover the last month of rent since it was their error?

Thanks in Advance,

Dave
