The 4 Most Important Rental Forms
As landlords and property managers, we all have an opinion of what our favorite rental forms are.
Many believe a quality Lease Rental Agreement is the most important because it is the legal binding contract that lays down the law of the agreement for which the landlord and tenant will adhere.
 Another opinion is that a rental application with all the right ingredients is the most important rental form because without a proper tenant screening, a landlord will be in big trouble! Of course, we all know that if you rent to a bad tenant, no lease agreement in the world, no matter how wonderful it is, will give you a pleasant tenancy - NOT with a BAD tenant!
Assuming you screen your tenant applicants properly and have a good instinct for selecting good ones, what do you think the 3rd most important rental form should be?
In my opinion, it is a form I created a few years ago, which has really made a positive impact on how my tenants pay their rent. It has actually prioritized their rent in their minds to be just as important as their credit card payments! Yes, it is the Credit Reporting Disclosure Notice to tenant. Before signing the lease agreement, we explain that "we report tenant payment performance" to the credit bureau, it makes a difference....

Dear Mr. Reno:
We approved a tenants application on the condition of them paying last month rent. Since they were not able to provide the last month rent upon move in, we negotiated to have them pay in 3 installments for the next three months. We clearly wrote the terms of this agreement on the lease. So far we are having difficulty in them comlying to pay those installments for the last month rent. They have paid their rent on time though. Can we terminate the lease agreement and give them 3 or 7 day notice to comply or move?
Thank you for your assistance.
Ana
A: Why, why, why? Why are you doing this backwards? You wanted the last month, first- but not now... later. So you can't terminate a lease for this. Sorry, Ana. If you cared so much about the last month, you should have got it in advance. (These things never work out.)
If you have a landlord tenant problem you'd like to ask a question about, please feel free to e-mail me your question.
Submit a landlord / tenant question for Mr. Reno
Please try to keep your questions as short and to the point as possible.

Tenant Credit Reporting
(LPA Membership FREE BONUS Feature)
Have you ever been beaten by a tenant on the rent?
Most of us have and unfortunately, it is one of the costs of doing business as a landlord.
On the bright side, remedies are available. If you have documented your tenancy with the proper paperwork including a rental application, lease agreement, late notices, etc., you may have a chance of collecting.
Credit bureau reporting is an option in which many modern landlords are beginning to participate....
