Dear Mr. Reno:
I live in Arizona, and wanted to take a tenant to cout for leaving without paying the last month's rent. I have been told by the clerk, that I had to go throught Mediation before I could go to court. Why should I have to meet someone half way, when it is my 1/2 of the money they are taking? - Kathering Suter
A:
Just because they make you go through mediation, doesn't mean you have to settle. It's up to you. Some people want to avoid the hassle and expense of a trial. Other stick to their guns. The choice is yours.
Dear Mr. Reno:
I am a real estate investor in Sebastian Florida. Is it legal to publish the name of a tenant who doesn't pay rent? I know that saying a tenant doesn't pay rent is a broad statement and could mean a lot of things. Is there any situation that the name and possibly other information about a tenant who does not pay could be published?
Thank you for your help,
Jeff Stepanek
A:
It is legal, but that doesn't mean you wont be sued for slander. Fear not: "The truth, is an absolute defense" to such a suit.
