Actually, their son, who is over 18, acted as their translator, making it quite possible that a judge would accept him as a valid person to give notice in writing, because they can not write english. You would not believe the lengths that the courts go to in order to avoid the appearance of prejudice. In the meantime, the tenant gets every benefit of the doubt, we get none. I have rented to Indian people before, to another Asian family, and now to these people. These were more a function of putting work ahead of other people's houses. I do appreciate your input and tomorrow I will be discussing this evening at a Continuing Legal Education Seminar. I would like to get clients more involved in their own situations before they need an attorney, and am trying to find the right group. I was a member here in the early to mid 2000's. I want to empower landlords but ONLY if they get non-judgmental advice from other, more seasoned landlords. No one needs their face rubbed in it. Thanks for all of your input and assistance. Yes, the case of Century 21 was unreal. THEY even filled out the move in condition form for the tenants, further complicating the case legally. It is, as they say, one for the textbooks.
