Dear Mr. Reno:
I have tenants that never pick up their certified mail. Can I implement a fee of lets say $5 or $10 for unclaimed certified mail? I would like to get paid for the hassle of continuing to have to pay for certified mailings (as required in my leases), just to have to be bothered 20 days later to drive back to the post office to pick up the unclaimed items. I am normally not home during the day due to a full time job, so I normally do not get the deliveries returned and have to drive back to my local post office to retrieve them. I would like it to read as such:
A:
Although I've never heard of it, I don't see any reason why you can't put a charge like this in your lease, if this is a problem for you. (By the way, now I've seen EVERYTHING!)
Dear Mr. Reno:
My Tenant has a guest in an apartment in my house that he rents and he will not leave. He claims he paid the rent and has his rights. I never received any money from him. He moved in while I was away( I live on the property) and has a dog who is destroying the paint and windows, and barks and growls at every passerby. I live in New Hampshire. He says he won't leave. My tenants have a clause in their lease that they may not sublet or rent to a roommate without my permission.
Can I ask the police to get him out. ? I gave him and my tenant a letter telling them that he had to go in 7 days, and he began yelling at me . What next?

A:
The police wont help you. He's a guest of the tenant. You'll have to evict the tenant. You say its against the lease. Most leases give you the right to terminate the lease if there's a default. READ YOUR LEASE, and act accordingly, but against the tenant- not the guest.

The Tenant's Notice of Intention to Vacate re-affirms the tenant's agreement to give the proper amount of notice time to the landlord along with full cooperation for showing the property for re-rental or sale. It includes a place for the tenant to give his forwarding address in order to receive any security refund.
It is an excellent way to help reinforce proper move-out procedure. We always staple a copy of this notice to the back of the tenant's lease
to be used when the time comes for the tenant to give notice to vacate.
