Thank you Mr. Nowak, the information you provided is very helpful. Have a great evening.

I received a text message that my tenant was vacating on 11/03/2017. I went to the property on the 5th to find that she left some valuable items and property keys but removed clothing, furniture and other items. Since the 5th of November, I have tried calling and texting to find out if she will be picking up what she left but no response. Can I dispose or sale the left items?    

Please help with advice from an experience investor/landlord. I have a tenant with an ill child( sickle cell). She has used his health as an excuse for 6 months now to delay her past due payments. Can I send the 5 day Pay or Vacate Notice and follow up with a garnishment, if she is more than 30 days past due?  She has been a good payer on the monthly rent, keep home clean and pleasure attitude. She's one month behind plus late fees and there's not enough security deposit to make up the difference.

Cedric for the past 8yrs, I have used the same method. I gave my tenants deposit slips which only has routing and account number on them. My bank does not provide the tenants any personal information or my account information. I have given permission for online transactions. Hope this helps. 

Thanks for the great advice

My tenant received a judgement but has not paid the ordered amount. She is not working a steady job at this time and probably change jobs repeatedly in the future. The security deposit only covers half the judgement amount. Part of me is saying let it go because I would have to pay over a $100 to file/serve the garnishment(I know I can add to the order) but she has already proven she will not or can not pay.
