@Bill Bell usually the deposit is made out to all individuals who signed the lease Meaning the security despot would read; payable to wife and husband , not ORPlease check your landlord tenant laws in your state 

Just wanted to quickly introduce myself and hopefully network with individuals near and far.

I'm talking about the branch as an individual and specifically your loan consultant.If you haven't paid for an appraisal get out while you still can!!!

What about when an individual owns multiple properties, 10 or 50 or 100?  

He passed me someone last week, I spoke with this individual a few times, and I feel like he's got a decent deal. 

Definitely get in writing the deposit amounts from the landlord and I would request the tenants individually sign the document indicating they agree on the amounts.I say this because I bought a multi-unit building a couple years ago.

The lease is setup so that each can be held individually responsible.Wife and husband use as primary residence, co-signed lives elsewhere.Husband and wife are divorcing.Wife is refusing to pay any portion of rent, so husband is paying 100%.Husband and co-signer are pleading for help to dissolve the lease so that husband doesn't have to pay 100% of rent anymore, and he can vacate the premises without any court involvement.Wife is refusing to cooperate and doesn't really want to move.Any ideas or feedback would be appreciated.Thank you.

Little did I know the skills I learned in finance, business, sales, customer service and leadership would be the foundation of my future.

They do a lot of evictions in Philly and have the best pricing - but they run bulk operations so you get what you pay for, in terms of customer service and individual attention.If it's a complicated eviction or if you just want more personalized service, you may want to find a go-to attorney you can add to your team, especially since it looks like you are expanding in Philadelphia.
