Can you ask about child support payments?
Hi everyone,
My M2M tenant just informed me he went to court on Monday and now has to pay $476/month for child support. Rent is $450/month. He said he just wanted me to know things might get tight. I said I'm sorry to hear that and i hope it works out. Good thing you are on m2m and can just give notice if things go south. Also told him to keep in mind late fees are expensive and will add up quickly. I was basically letting him know rent is a priority for me and should be for him as well. I hope I handled it well. I'm wondering going forward, is it ok to ask about child support obligations etc when screening. Even if they make 3x the rent? Thanks BP fam!
