Either receive it in check well before the move-in date so you can make sure it clears, or better yet, insist on a money order or electronic transfer.If you've never evicted before, go to clerk of courts office in the courthouse and ask for the eviction forms, and follow the instructions. 

and or insisted on a hold back.since they closed they accepted it.. running to the real estate commission is also over kill.if you truly have a beef if you want to go to mediation do that.. cost you a few grand.I have mediated EM in PA pretty easy process and I won. 

@Marty Summers As long as you're not a licensed agent, there's nothing wrong with you contacting the seller directly, but the seller's agent should have insisted that all communications be run through him to prevent the seller from saying something that weakens his negotiating position.I suspect that if you got the seller to de-list, you could be sued for interference in a contractual relationship.Also, the agent is under no obligation to de-list while the contract is in effect.

Those that insist the M2M lease is the only way to go, I need to know where your properties are located.

I can see insisting on the first back in the day if you had to go in person and collect the rent.

If yes, charge it to the tenant and see if he still insists on disconnection.Eventually, you may want to consider another gas appliance, like a water heater or range, so tenants can't ask for disconnection.  

Ours is v strict - although it has a one month minimum the HOA insists on at least 30 days in advance written applications with $100 fee and credit pull.

He insisted his payment issues were due to traveling out of town for his Grandmother's funeral, then some kind of bank glitch. 

So at his insistence we took over and are building the additional 6 houses - that just happen to be "little houses"They are about 30 feet apart. 

If they insist you can't have that, then you might have to walk.
