Tenant Disapeared

[Sean Kuhn]

I bought a house and had a checked out, well approved applicant sign a lease starting Jan 20th. He paid the full security deposit and rent up to Feb 28th. The next payment is due March 1st. I told him to sign up for the payment website on the 5th. I texted him on the 6th as he hadn't registered yet. No response. Text again on the 8th and still no response. Should I be worried? Perhaps he's really busy with moving and will get to it. But a reply would be nice. What do you guys think?

Hi Sean.

Why are you worried? He has almost 3 weeks before he needs to sign up, right? What is the sense of urgency to have him sign up so far in advance?

When you say you told him to sign up on the 5th - does that mean at lease signing you told him he had to sign up by 2/5, or do you mean you contacted him on 2/5 to remind him he needed to do it?
