February 15, 2010 Dear Fellow Landlord, In this issue:
Please e-mail us if you have any questions or would like to add or share any material / information. Attorney's Fee Warning NoticeEven though the Urgent Late Notice clearly states that the rent is late, late fees are due and the account is in eviction status, the Attorney's Fee Warning Notice has been know to get positive results.
FREE LPA Lease Clause: BASEMENTS AND GARAGESHave you ever had a tenant threaten to sue you for damages to personal property because they stored it in the garage or basement? I have.Sometimes basements and garages leak or are subject to moisture and mildew and can cause damage to personal property. We find this clause is most helpful in leases for single family home rentals, but has also been successful in multi family dwellings. (Also keep in mind the Renters Insurance clause!)
Just copy and paste into your lease document. (If you already use The LPA Lease, the clause is already there.)
Ask the AttorneyThe Landlord Protection Agency® is proud to introduce John Reno, Esq., a highly experienced Landlord - Tenant attorney based on Long Island, NY.
John Reno also does Mortgage Loan Modifications (Nationwide). If you have a landlord tenant problem you'd like to ask a question about, please feel free to e-mail me your question. Dear Mr. Reno: A: You haven't mentioned unpaid rent, so I'm assuming they're current. That's a problem. If they were entitled to a 60 day notice, you haven't given it. Dum - Di - Dum - Dum. Dear Mr. Reno: A: You need to separate your business affairs from affairs of the heart or you'll have muchas problemas. You want a cohabitation agreement as a partner - or a lease as his landlord. Pick one, not both. Memorable Tenant Rent Excuses"It’s your fault the check bounced. Why didn’t you tell me you were going to run to the bank the very same day?!" Since she had bounced checks before which was also my fault…I thought I would try and cash it . - Penny Clissold- Houston, Tx "The skylite leaked and caused the kitchen light to blow! We called the fire department. I aint afraid of nutin, but I'm afraid of foyer." How does that affect the rent? I wish I didn't have so many tenants' lame excuses to list, but they just keep coming. - Steve S., BVR Mgmt, NY

LPA members have been asking me for a while now about how to set up automated rent payments with their tenants. I’d like to bring your attention to “ClearNow, the leader in electronic rent collection.” ClearNow enables you to have your rent automatically withdrawn from your tenant’s bank accounts and directly deposited into your bank account.
If you haven’t done so already, please check out …
