  3. Avoid costly mistake when collecting last month's rent upfront

    Q: When my tenant moved in, I collected a security deposit of one month's rent, plus last month's rent. Now, 10 years and two rent hikes later, the tenant is leaving and says she won't write a check for the difference between the current rent and the rent she paid when she moved in. That's many hundreds of dollars, and I think it's not right.

  4. Technicality lets tenant assign lease to friend

    Q: My tenant assigned his lease to his friend without my consent, and I didn't realize it until the new "tenant" withheld rent over repairs.

  10. Is recording tenant meeting a sound plan?

    <strong>Q: One of my tenants wants to meet with me to go over some issues we're having with him. He has complained that we are discriminating against him, and has threatened to file a complaint. I think he's just trying to get some money out of us, and I want to record the conversation so that I have evidence of his thinly veiled threats in case I need it. Is there anything illegal about recording our meeting?</strong>
