Hi everyone,

How would you deal with a tenant that just moved out and blame you for all her lost mails?

so the situation is this: I don’t live on the property, I don’t even check those mailboxes. I emailed the tenant that she should file a Change of Address form with the Post Office again, so her future mails will be send to her current address. Also, I will have the current resident to write “return to sender” on mails that are not theirs.

But, the previous tenant seems to blame me her holding her missing mails. This situation kind of stressing me out.

How would you deal with this tenant in this situation?

thank you so much,

@Bob Floss II Thank you so much for the reply. So, long story short. Me and the tenant signed an Agreed Dismissal Order from the court that she will move out by last month, which she did, and she will apply for the Court Based Rental Assistance Program through Will County to pay the owed rent to avoid Eviction. So, few days ago, I received a notice that the application is denied. I’m not sure why. I’ve tried to email the responsible department without any response. The tenant owes pretty significant amount of money. My question is that now she moved out per the court order, but I didn’t get paid as planned. How am I going to get what she owed me back?

sincerely,

Hi BP,

I’m in Will County, Joliet Illinois. Me and my eviction tenant are applying for the Court Based Rental Assistance Program together so she can pay the rent she owe me without an Eviction. My question is what if the rental assistance gets denied. How can I still recover what she owe me? 

Thank you so much,

Thank you very much Nathan for the advice!!!

Hi BP,

I have a tenant under eviction. About month ago, we signed an Agreed Dismissal Order through Will Count court states that she will move out on 14th of April and will pay the owed rent by CBRAP through Joliet IL in Will County. Currently, CBRAP( Court Based Renta Assistance Program) application is still review and the move out date for the tenant on coming up this week. I was wondering should I sign another agreement with the tenant to extend the move out date?  

My concern is will the Judge allow this? I meant I asked my Eviction Attorney the same question, he said he’s not 100% sure, but it’s understandable that it takes time for the application review process. Now, we just waiting for it to go through. 

Therefore, any advices and opinions will be greatly appreciated!

Hi BP,

Recently I purchased a property in Joliet, Illinois. There was an inherited section 8 tenant in one of the units. Her lease is ending in January 31 2023. But, she gave me a written notice on December 30, 2022 and moved out of the property the next next day. 

I called the section 8 tenant’s caseworker, she told me that she’s allowed to do that because there was a change in ownership. So, she’s not paying my for her last month of rent and section 8 is not pay either.

Is this allowed? Any comments are appreciated!

Thank you very much,

Hi BP,

I just closed on a property in the Joliet Illinois area, and I have a inherited tenant who is in the process of eviction from the previous landlord.

Does anyone have an eviction attorney in the Joliet, Illinois who they recommend?

thank you so much,

 Thank you so much for your reply, Ricardo. I absolutely agree. Currently, working on Plan B.

 So, I'm in Chicago. the first unit in the first duplex is renting out for $1200, second unit is renting out for $1300. They both can be rented around $1400 after lease ends. Second duplex, it can be rented out about $1200/unit. Since, I'm going to house hack, and my living expense is around $1200. So, I would get about $4900 per month in total. So, the gross rent is $58800. Is that how you suppose to calculate house-hack?
