The people that bring up the simple problems like plunging toilets or bad tenants are typically the people who do not like confrontation.

This is what you need:-Not afraid of physical confrontation-Capable of doing the rehab and tenant flip yourself-Nose for bullsh*t-Firm1.

I don't even bother to confront her about this.

I'm not one for confrontation with my tenants, and will usually go out of my way to resolve and issue, however, this is one I would not entertain.Where do these people come off with such a request?

I am not familiar with the tenant laws in your area - so I cannot advise on how to proceed on that level - I can say this though  - it sounds like you are too nice of a person to be a landlord - and perhaps you need the assistance of a  professional management company to help you with ugly confrontational situations like this - At the very least -please read up as much as you can about your rights and responsibilities as a landlord - I can tell that you have done some research - but I feel like you need a lot more if you are going to be successful in this business.

That's the reason you should make the rent due date specific, accept only the full amount, and stick to it.Don't be confrontational with them about it; just point out that you don't read where you are obligated in the lease, and if it is a "grey area", take the position that protects you.

I have to qualify that by saying I haven't actually talk to an owner face to face yet but the majority aren't doing it because of the confrontation aspect. the main expenses are time, gas and any notes that you leave for the owners.

Most people when confronted by people who are in the wrong AND who have power over their lives will push back.

You could make the restriction more general then just signs if you think it will be less confrontational.

Try not to have any in personal confrontations or conversations even on th e telephone.
