Today was a month since notice so i called local court and figured out paperwork to file. while looking through bank statements i realized that he has been zelling me random amounts for rent since august and i learned today that if he makes even a dollar payment it voids the eviction process because i "accepted partial payment" according to some regulations in arizona.

The mortgage company had already filed a release.What happens is mortgages get sold many times and sometimes the appropriate paperwork gets lost.

Having ESA paperwork doesn't mean the pet can do whatever it wants.Start talking to a lawyer about your options. 

Paperwork to be signed is mailed back and forth and we only do our own lease as a formality and an extra chance to go in and check out the apartment to see if we need to fix something.

I do see risk of tenants using the ordinance a way to extend their termination date through tieing it up with paperwork.

Once a month we drop off all the paperwork, they record everything in QB.

I say this because we used a different realtor to purchase our STR and it was a disaster all around - both our agent and the seller's agent didn't know what they were doing, had no worthwhile advice to offer, messed up paperwork so that it had to be done again, just a sloppy experience all around.

They were impressed how organized our paperwork was.Notice I didn't list asset protection?

If they are legal to live and/or work in the US they will have the proper paperwork and be issued the proper numbers to track them and run checks.

Meaning if they cannot find a fault in the paperwork or reach settlement it can cost more in the long run.
