When i ask for advice for what tp dp with a tenant who skipped out on rent, i get the same bull. You know why? Because were all a bunch of powerless landlords. Here what people say:
it costs too much for an attorney to be worth it, try to go to small claims, just move on, u should have picked a better tenant, next time make a stronger lease.
well to hell with yall and this dumb advise because everyone of us knpws we cant do jack.
if u win in small claims, u gotta go collect. Well mpst of u tried that. Garnishing wont work if they change jobs or u dont know where they work in the first place.
just moved on n pick a better tenant? Kiss my ***, some tenants r good but they leave without notice anyways cuz life happened.
stronger lease? Kiss my *** again. Whats that gonna do?
you knpw what im gonna do from now on? Im gpnna stop being nice, and charge everybody an arm and leg to mpve in so i get higher quality tenants. Charge them $250 nonrefundable pet fees, make them pay for landscaping and pest control and take their security deposit for every little thing they do.
cuz im sick of landlords getting effed all the time. Tell me im wrong. Tell me not one of u has seen a damn dime from winning at small claims.
