Thankfully we didn’t have to enforce this clause!

He will have a huge advantage being in law enforcement in this regard he can screen background checkand read people far better than the average landlord could hope to and mitigate getting a bad tenant therefore virtually eliminating his headaches

You can either enforce your lease or let the tenant know that you wont enforce your rules and hope for the best when they break other provisions in the lease....your choice.The middle ground is to let the tenant know that she is in violation of the lease and this is grounds for eviction if the issue is not corrected..... you will not enforce that provision if he goes through the standard tenant screen and is placed on the lease.These are small issues and not worth making a huge issue out of, BUT they set the precedent on how tough you run your properties....are you a pushover or are you someone to not try and take advantage of..... how you approach this situation may have future impact on other things that come up.If this is a good tenant, in a nice property and there aren't any issues, I wouldn't make a big deal out of it, but I would not just ignore the fact that she is breaking a provision in the lease...that gives them the impression that they can do whatever they want

I believe if that is included, if they do not pay as agreed you can file the promissory note with the court and bypass the small claims process to sue them and it basically acts as a judgement you can enforce, I believe.If you can't collect from the parents, you could also sue all of them in small claims court if they are all named on the lease as tenants.

We haven't yet to enforce that as we fear the guest may not sort things or damage the linens. 

I know they are trying to update the law with the choice act because the Dodd-Frank has had unintended consequences that for some reason the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau wont rectify...Former Congressman Barney Frank, who co-sponsored the legislation, said he was “regretful to realize” its negative impact not long after Dodd-Frank became the law of the land.In a 2011 letter to a constituent, Frank wrote:“I do not think it is necessary to include manufactured housing as part of our effort to prevent abusive mortgage practices, and I am now working with my staff to see if we can find a way to make a change that would deal with the problem you correctly point out… “

I think Rarebird would be doing their members a big service to invite one of the Department of Real Estate enforcement officers to a meeting and explain what is legal and what is not.. and same with someone from the CCB...Having gone toe to toe with those folks and losing  .. and the division of corporate securities and paying fine.Oregon is  tough place to do this the way all the rest of the wholesalers work through out the country.. 

There was another method you can use Being that you are dealing with criminals you may wanna see about your local police station serving the paperwork ( oddly enough many do this for a nominal fee) because this will really upset these guys if they see somebody that’s in law-enforcement coming out to the house and serving the papers. it will make them very nervous and they may want to leave altogether or comply

I was a tenant at one point and I try to sympathize with their situation while enforcing the lease.

Since the timing involved (30 minutes) is so tight, this is a tough one and you really will have to look at the contract and at how much you want the property to decide if it is worth a letter from an attorney to the seller's agent saying you are enforcing your agreement.On one such property, a long time ago, I wrote a letter to the broker of the selling agent.
