She been there longer than that and receives mail there. AND, I just found out its in New Jersey, not Wisconsin, so I am totally not familiar with the laws there. But the homeowner has filed an eviction, which she was told was her only recourse at this time. Live and learn I guess. 

@Dennis M.

That is what I am thinking too. The minor makes things more complicated, but wanted to ask just in case.

I am asking this for someone else. 

An elderly woman was allowing a temporary guest to stay with her. The women was homeless and living in a hotel with her 8 year old daughter. Homeowner she felt bad and offered a temporary stay. Rent free. No written agreement. Now squatter won't leave and its become a very very tense situation. Squatter is threatening to call social services because she isn't allowed to use the kitchen. The home owner had to file an eviction against her, which  I am pretty sure is her only recourse at this point. Correct?

Thank you! I got that far, but was stuck because it looked like it would make a second deposit. But once I went to the invoice, and applied the credit from there, it just accepted it and done with it. I knew I was over-looking something. 

I switched from QB online to desktop because I could not justify the pricing any more. 

I am running into a few issues.

I have two tenants who pay rent three months at a time. I am stuck on how to apply the existing credit, without it being recorded as another deposit. (see lower left corner labeled 'deposit') 

I have more issues and willing to pay for some lessons if anyone is willing and able. Thanks in advance.

Thank you! I have read that doc. Very useful. I guess I just want to make sure I don't catch any grief over this, covering all my bases. 

We took over some duplexes and I noticed that one person's lease ended May 31st of this year. I don't want to renew them for a year. I'd like to just give them 28 day notice, but its unclear if the lease automatically converts to month-to-month. 

Lease says: An Agreement for a fixed term expires without further

notice. If tenancy is to be continued beyond this term, parties

should make arrangements for this in advance of the expiration.

No written notice is required to terminate a lease for term because the lease automatically ends on the last day of the term. Nonetheless, both Landlord and Tenant should discuss prior to the end of the original lease term whether or not they wish to continue the tenancy beyond the original lease term and if so, enter into a new rental agreement accordingly. Month to Month Tenancy – Written notice must be received by the other party at least twenty-eight (28) days prior to the ending of a month to month tenancy. A month to month tenancy may only be terminated at the end of the rental period. 

What is best option? Inform them that their lease ended on May 31st, (to show that I 'discussed' this with them) and that the lease will convert to month-to-month, then after 30 days pass, serve them the 28 day notice? 

Or can I just serve them the 30 day notice?

Which version do you recommend for landlords? There is a PRO, Premier, and Enterprise - I don't think I need the enterprise version though.

Thank you!! This makes sense to me. Also, I think I will be looking into the desktop version. Not only because of the bounced check feature but because the online version has gone up to $50 a month.

@Joseph ODonovan

I have but there is no info about what happens to the matched deposit. ( that had the bounced check in it )
