I have a bad feeling about this one...
I rent short term furnished accommodations within walking distance to downtown Seattle.
There is a lady moving in on Sept 4th and we have a signed lease. The lease states that rent is due on 9/4 and is deemed late as of 9/9. From there penalties start accruing. Eviction process is clear in the lease.
She qualified for the rental so I rented it to her. I just have a bad feeling. She paid the security deposit in cash so I have that. She just sent me an email telling me she probably won't have the rent for me on the 4th since the bank is closed and she does not trust Venmo. My reply was simply that it is her responsibility to get me the rent on time and she should read section 2 of the lease so she knows what will happen if she is late.
I've been doing this for a couple years but this is the first tenant that I have a bad feeling about. Any tips as I head into this?
