My experience was that I never collect the balance and they left the house needing repairs.  I will never do it again.

Yes IPN is being discontinued hut being replaced with Quickbooks Payments.  Still the same pricing structure.  I switched from IPN to Qu ick books payments.  I am also a Quickbooks Proadvisor.   Quickbooks felt that they had too many products and consolidated.  Give them a call and they will.help you switch.

Get a deposit to show they are sincere.

When you tell the tenant to move (which we just did) how do you find out where they moved?  I do have the place she works.

I would not.  As I understand insurance is hard to get and probably more expensive.

Thank ypu Sean!

I can never find the sample forms available on this site.

Could someone please direct to as to where to find them please?

Thank you!

So this is what is going on.  We have a sfm for rent currently and I would say 90 percent have claimed that their pet is a "service" animal.  We just say No Animals.  End of story.  No one challenges it.

We did an annuaL inspection on one of our SFH yesterday. This tenant is behind one month on the rent. She tried to make excuses for the inspection not to happen. We found the house (which is a very nice house in a very nice neighborhood ) filthy all the way down to inside the refrigerator. Televisions mounted to the walls in just about every room. Which means large holes. On the dining room door facing they had written their names and heights in ink on both sides of the frame. Cigarette butts all out front in the yard and sidewalk at the entrance. I had already had to get onto her about the leaves in the yard. I had to approach her and give her a week to get the leaves cleared up. She didnt, then I had to talk to her again (by text which is the only way I can communicate to her and get a response) The house was newly painted and pristine clean when renter took possession. I know that if I send renter a certified letter that she will not sign for it. I know that if I were to schedule a face to face visit with her she will not be there. I know that I am done and want the house cleaned and rent caught up including the late fee. I know that if I evict her that I will.have to repaint, replace carpet and clean. What would you do? and what would you say to her in person or in a letter. I am a very direct straight forward person when it comes to communication. I feel that I need to respond to the inspection by tomorrow. I am thinking that I will give her a week to clean and then do another inspection and tell her that the rent with late fees has to be caught up.immediately. since she is now month to month have her sign another lease and n increase the rent to where it runs her off. If not evict. Input appreciated. Since she has been in the house she has divorced and saw another males belongings in her bedroom down to his framed pictures with his name on the wall. Seems that he is currently a soldier stationed not far away.

How much time should you give a tenant before inspecting the housE they are renting from you?
