"The LPA Lease has become my favorite lease, and enforcing it with the Essential Forms is even better. Managing my properties (tenants) has become much easier."
Jack Klein, LPA Member since May 2001.






"The question should be ..." "Can you afford not to join The Landlord Protection Agency? I'm very thankful for all The LPA has done for us. At first we were intimidated by our tenants and the whole process of leasing and managing our rental property. Now we have 3 rentals with excellent tenants!"
Carol and Jim S., LPA Members since July 2003

    Free Essential Form Download- Dishonored Check Notice

    Do Your Tenants’ Rent Checks Bounce?
    Bounced Check

    One fact of being in the landlord business is that rent checks will occasionally bounce. When that happens, you, the landlord will probably not find out the rent check was returned until 3 or 4 weeks later, depending on how efficient your bank is.
    How does that concern the tenancy? It means the rent is approximately 3 -4 weeks late, plus you’ve incurred bank charges on top of it.

    Like a late rent notice, the LPA Dishonored Check Notice will inform the tenant that the rent check was returned for insufficient funds. It will ask for the balance due along with any applicable bounced check charges, late fees, and daily late charges as agreed in your lease....

    Electronic Rent Collection

    LPA members have been asking me for a while now about how to set up automated rent payments with their tenants. I’d like to bring your attention to “ClearNow, the leader in electronic rent collection.” ClearNow enables you to have your rent automatically withdrawn from your tenant’s bank accounts and directly deposited into your bank account.

    If you haven’t done so already, please check out …

    Ask the Attorney

    The Landlord Protection AgencyThe Landlord Protection Agency® is proud to introduce John Reno, Esq., a highly experienced Landlord - Tenant attorney based on Long Island, NY.

    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.


    Dear Mr. Reno:
    I’m hoping that you might know this answer. My tenant just received a wheel chair and he is asking me to install ramps from the front door and also from the curb. When I rented them the unit (a couple of months ago) he didn’t use a wheel chair so I had no idea that he would be in need of one. Whose responsibility is it to have them installed the tenant or landlord? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, Gail

    A: I'm pretty sure that the landlord only has the obligation if it's a multiple dwelling (like an apartment house.) Does your tenant know something I don't know? If so, I'd be interested to hear it. Ask the tenant if there's a law on the books. I would be very surprised.

    Dear Mr. Reno:
    I have a tenant who let the toilet run and she has created a water bill for $836.21. What am I able to do about her? Please answer as soon as possible. thank you - Ms. Ollie Adams, Pennsylvania

    A: Well if the toilet has run, I guess someone needs to go catch it! (Sorry about that.) How's a letter demanding reimbursement and then small claims court?
