It’s a well oiled operation to collect money then give you vague updates and excuses.

No matter what excuse she gives you for forgiveness wanting to rent from you, don't buy it.

Be prepared for the commonly used excuses of, 1) "I had a lease with previous owner, but not with you, so I don't owe you any rent".

.- Tenants serious about staying will cooperate, the majority will make more excuses:(- Unfortunately, you will have to remind them the day before payments are do, otherwise they will spend on other bill or pizza.- Do NOT accept excuse, "I will have to see how much my paycheck is to see how much I can pay you".

It’s just one excuse after another.  

Please excuse his ignorance

Utilities and Services Landlord is excused from providing services (heat, water, etc.) for reasons outside their control, and tenant must continue paying rent.

Stop accepting BS excuses.

Out of my 150 “buyers” 3 made offers (all above asking price) and the other 147 had every excuse in the world why they weren’t interested.

How we enforce:1) EVERYONE gets a nonpayment Eviction Notice (7-Day in Michigan), regardless of their excuse or history with us.
