Some neighbors and tenants are simply habitual victims and have filed dozens of suits over the years.If you’re in RE long enough, you’ll be sued.  

Both of the others are habitually late, but they seem to eventually trickle in after a few weeks.

@Darryl CallumWelcome to the vibrant BP community.

You won't change the people because their nature is cultural or habitual. 

I have a tenant who is habitually late (but eventually has always paid).

@Mindy JensenThat's great news for all as it shows that the vibrant BP community is neither static nornear its peak.There are a myriad of solid reasons why so many souls are eager to join BP, such ascommunity help and guidance, proof of others' accomplishments, camaraderie with like minded individuals, trove of educational material for free  to name a few.In joining BP newcomers and returnees invest their time in something that can bear financial fruit only by them taking action as they embark on their REI journey.

Habitually late payment tenants are the biggest headache tenants there is.

I agree it’s largely a spillover play from SF, but Oakland is gaining traction of its own as a vibrant city with **it going on!

Based on my experience with this habitual problem tenant though, it seems like they can and WILL exploit that approach soon enough.
