Relying on text in court for tenant/landlord disputes is a shot in the dark at best. Sometimes texts don't go thru or delayed.

I know from experiences. That is why I stress to tenants to put everything in writing in addition to texts to protect themselves...when I put it in their interest they are more likely to comply.

This way we both covered because I stated in the least that this is how we will verify communications after phone conversations/texts.

If they call me about a maintenance issue, I acknowledge the call, tell them what will be done...and tell them to complete maintenance request form provided to them at lease signing or go on the website and fill out and print it and mail it to me...document, document, document.

Not hard.
