Tenant feels I don’t trust them.

[Adrian Vega]

Hello all,

Thanks for any input. So I have owned a 3 family since February of this year. I did inherit my 2 tenants anyways I have always texted them a day before letting them know I would pick up the rent from them and give them a time and I normally get the response of ok thank you or no I won’t be around can you come at so and so hour and it’s always been easy. So today I send my texts out and one says ok see u tomorrow and the other says “ Good evening.. adrian hope u don't get bothered but can u please wait until I contact u to pay the rent I feel pressured when u ask for it. It's like u dont trust me my rent will alway be on time i have a five day Grace period thank u. and sorry”

How would you handle that? I am just looking for alternative responses as I just want to tell him off but I have to bite my tongue and see how some other seasoned landlords would handle this.

They both pay cash btw.

Thanks for any constructive feedback.
