Tenant feels I don’t trust them.

Hello all,

Thanks for any input. So I have owned a 3 family since February of this year. I did inherit my 2 tenants anyways I have always texted them a day before letting them know I would pick up the rent from them and give them a time and I normally get the response of ok thank you or no I won’t be around can you come at so and so hour and it’s always been easy. So today I send my texts out and one says ok see u tomorrow and the other says “ Good evening.. adrian hope u don't get bothered but can u please wait until I contact u to pay the rent I feel pressured when u ask for it. It's like u dont trust me my rent will alway be on time i have a five day Grace period thank u. and sorry”

How would you handle that? I am just looking for alternative responses as I just want to tell him off but I have to bite my tongue and see how some other seasoned landlords would handle this.

They both pay cash btw.

Thanks for any constructive feedback.

@Adrian Vega  Why haven't you set up another form of payment so that you are not picking up rent payments every month?

    1. Trust no man but God

    2. Set up an alternate form of payment besides Cash in Person

    3. Have that eviction lawyer on standby for when they don't pay
