Along with the math, there are the soft benefits to think about.  

The church is usually a soft touch for sob stories.

It's much harder to enforce rules after you've been soft.

They tend to go in soft, lose potential money on rent and generally allow the tenants to control them because the tenants were in place.

If you do not then you are simply giving money away because you do not understand the business or because you are soft hearted  Tenants are not soft hearted so you are only doing it to make yourself feel better. 

Yeah, he got a couple warnings to keep his drama out of the building, then he got his 30 day notice.Funny, because he was soft-spoken and really big - like 6'3" and maybe 250lbs, and both girlfriends were little teeny short things - but hellcats!  

My question is, in her text she said she will have 1/2 of the rent the 1st, then "should" have the second half with the late fee two weeks later, so she gets she'll be paying extra.I don't want to be soft and encourage this type of habit to form, but I don't want to be a jerk and evict her right off the bat either, especially if she warned me a week in advance.Would you serve a 5 day notice on the 6th when the grace period ends?

Sue Kelly keep it professional and don't come across as a soft touch.

I've been using Navajo White from Home Depot which is a soft tan color.

Lessons learned, Maybe but he may be too soft for this business.He will be screening his own tenant, he knows better than to ever rent to any one on any form of government assistance in the future, he will now have experienced with his first LTB hearing and learn how much of a joke the system is.
