Yes, you have to follow legal procedure to enforce your rights as a lender.

We have some weird Appeals court rulings sometimes, and it's apparent the lower courts ruled against the homeowner getting the funds, which seems to follow the existing procedures.

The IRS gave guidance on Revenue Procedure 2005-14 on how to report exchanges of property used as a principal residence and for business/investment use in the last five years.

Yet, on the other side of the street are boarded up foreclosures.My offers are for cash and I've provided a letter establishing proof of funds.I have some questions for the BP community:1) Short Sale Procedure with IndyMac: Now that my offers are in, they're considering the short sale application.

You need to look up the proper procedure in your area to make sure you follow the rules about how long the tenant has to come pick up their things.

I agree with @Nathan G. and would just reiterate to the tenants that despite the stubborn stain, the carpet was professionally cleaned prior to their move-in.This is a situation where your leasing procedures and lease document can either protect you or sink you.

I would like suggestions on the standard procedures a landlord should take once a tenant moves out of a single-family home.

Should I treat my roommate like a tenant and go through the same procedure in acquiring a roommate as I would a tenant (go through tenant screening, application, have tenant sign a 1 year lease, etc.)?

Thanks Kristine,I will call them in the morning, I was hoping it was going to be a one stop and done procedure, and I have a free free day tomorrow.Oh we'll, thanks again!

They are the single largest demographic who stay with us, but the majority of our stays come from a random assortment of inbetween homes/in town for education purposes/outpatient procedures/visiting grandbabies/conferences/a bunch of other reasons.
