First and last month's rent

[Benjamin Mueller]

Just curious who here collects first and last month's rent plus deposit when getting a new tenant? My curiosity is can you evict after missing rent for one month when you techniquely have anoher months rent? Where I have my rentals the judge is pretty fair I hear but Def leans towards tenants even if the law states the obvious sometimes he does what he wants ... What are you reasons for it the double rent? IE your standard practice or for questionable tenants or have you been burnt too many times by tenants.  I wonder if this is the practice how hard it is to get a renter as alot if tenants would have that much disposable cash from my experience, but of course I could be wrong
