Lease Start Dates - Always 1st of the month?
Hi BP Community,
When do you start your leases? I never though it really mattered but have heard some people make the claim that you should always start them on the first of the month.
Does anyone subscribe to this theory? If so, why? The only reason I could really come up with is for the simplicity of keeping all tenants on the same pay schedule and therefore fee schedule should they be late on rent. Are there any legal implications to starting on the first vs. any other day with regard to processing evictions in PA? Or any other reasons I am not thinking of?
Thanks for your input!
