Nothing exemplifies this better than an interaction I had yesterday in the forums with a fellow poster who bought a $150K turn key house and posted the homes marketing photos.

It has appreciated greatly in the west ward and wanting to keep it but don't want the people interaction.

The interaction and insights people shared were worth more than $250.

Quote from @Josh Holley: I will also never purchase another property from you again after this interaction and your lack of professionalism.

We have a responsibility to demonstrate through our actions and interactions who real estate investors truly are, and situations like this are a collective black eye on us all. when you study for your real estate license.. the study materials go pretty deep into the Law. and then Ethics and that the two are not the same..

This certainly doesn't answer your question - only the landlords who have interacted with you can - but hopefully it gives a little more about the mindset of a landlord.

Alternatively, you can look into filing an affidavit.For the court hearing, be prepared to have all dates and proof to show the judge non-payment and any dates/times you interacted with the tenant.
