If your gonna be a landlord let me give you a few tips. 1) Work with your renters, especially if they have been there for two years. 2) Never threaten a renter who has come in and asked for a month to month lease after renting for 26 months, because of a possible international transfer. 3) Know what the legal system will actually allow you to do, know the laws in the areas your property is in not just where you live. 4) Never accuse a renter of a problem without trying to find out the truth.
Now number 1 and 2 go hand in hand. My husband recently found out he might be losing his job or transferring to Europe, being as we have been with this company
for 2 years, I went into the office to discuss my options. I was told they would garnish my wages "ummmmm yeahhh I don't think so" so I told them good luck if Europe. Geez people. Then you start in on number three they say they can charge me for 12 months if I break the lease. I am not sure they realized that they are in the United States and that there is not a judge out there that will allow that unless they were going to leave the unit empty but even then the most you will get is three months. Oh yes and if they rent it before then they would have to refund it as they can not double dip and collect two rents on one property. As for number four, if another renter says that a renter has done something like oh I don't know not pick up dog feces maybe you should have more truth as I do pick up my dogs waste. hhmmmmm so you can shove your $150.00 fine up your rear. A--it is not in my lease B--- ummm yeah not me.
