Free Tenant Adverse Action Notice!
If you reject an applicant because of negative information on his credit report, an Adverse Action Letter is needed to comply with FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) regulations. This would enable the consumer to exercise his right to obtain a free credit report from the credit bureau the information was derived from to understand or dispute information in the credit file.

Charging Late Fees
The LPA LEASE CLAUSE # 3, Late Fees
One of the most important elements of modern residential leases today is the Late Fee clause. In order to encourage timely rent and discourage late payments, I highly recommend you have a solid late charge clause. Having the clause in your lease is only part of protecting yourself against late rent...

Dear Mr. Reno:
I am in the process of evicting a tenant. He never showed up for court. He tried paying me May/June's rent. I refused to accept it. I recall reading in your forum, NOT to accept rent during the eviction process. Is my recollection correct, or am I mistaken? Assuming I win in small claims court for back rent/expenses, when and how would I go about garnishing his wages ? I've won in small claims before, and got nothing. Is there any good reason why Judges don't issue contempt of court charges against those who miss their court date? Or do they feel as though they and their court are a joke? Arrests and fines for those not showing up for court are a good way for municipalities to generate income. This individual works for a Large Package delivery Service, if that's a factor. Thank You - Tim, NY
A: If you take the rent, you may reinstate the tenancy. After you get a money judgment, file it with the county clerk & then get back to me.
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.
