Fact: As time passes, it is common for tenants to forget some of the details and obligations they've agreed to in their lease agreement contracts. Landlords should be ready to enforce the terms of the lease whenever the tenants forget or neglect their responsibilities.

Many landlords will purposely overlook or ignore small violations or tenant ignorance of the agreement in order to avoid "making waves" in the tenancy.

The Lease Obligations Reminder Letter allows the landlord to enforce the terms of the lease by politely bringing the tenant's attention to certain items and covenants in the lease agreement that may have been overlooked or forgoten about.

It is important to enforce the rental contract terms as soon as it is apparent that the tenant is not understanding his or her responsibilities.

• The Lease Obligations Reminder Letter appears to be a standard periodical letter sent to all your tenants from management to point out some important items for the tenants to keep in mind.
• The letter helps keep the tenants in compliance with certain lease clauses. A small checklist of LPA Lease clauses are mentioned in the letter, such as...

  How to Enforce Late Fees
  when the Tenant won't pay them willingly...

  Have you ever had a tenant who pays the rent late, but always ignores the late fee? How about when you repeatedly send late fee notices? Are those notices ignored too? Don't you just hate that?

  You are not alone. I know the feeling. Many, many landlords experience this frustration.

  Because the tenant pays the rent, though late, most landlords are willing to let it slide. You may be tempted to look the other way, reasoning that the tenant isn't so bad. "At least the rent is getting paid", you might think. Why rock the boat, right? "At least I'm not dealing with an eviction... yet."

  You might also be thinking that you can collect these unpaid charges from the security deposit...

  Dear Mr. Reno:
  Hello, I have a tenant who has been giving me a hard time. She recently has been disturbing the neighbors. The police have been called already.She has broken the lease many times and my question is that all of my requests that she complies with the lease after I catch her breaking the agreement have been verbal,if I file for an eviction do I have to start over and send written complaints and then give her more time to comply? She has already agreed to fix what is wrong but she never does.Thank you for your time,
  Stephanie, OH

  A: You're better off just letting the lease expire, then serve a 30 day notice - no reason required. If you try to evict her mid-lease while she's current, you're in for nine miles of rough road (like you've seen.)
