This should have also been transferred to you at closing along with the lease and should have the former owner/managers as well as the tenants signatures.Here is where it may get tricky - if you don't have a move-IN inspection report and/or pictures taken at the time of their initial possession, you may find it very difficult to prove damages by them if you end up in court.

If an LLC owns 393 units and you are just being added, they would also need to put a declaration in there that you are able to sign off on behalf of the LLC as well.  

This also puts the ball in the tenant's court as opposed to you 'proving' that the person is an unofficial resident and not a frequent guest.

I live in Texas, so I have to comply with the rules for application fee listed on this website.The website basically stated that "At the time a prospective tenant is given a rental application, the landlord must also provide written notice of the tenant selection criteria and the grounds for which a rental application may be denied".Tenant Selection Criteria:Minimum lease term is 12 monthsNo pets allowedNo smoking allowedMonthly income is at least 3 times rent (approximately $4,000).Have not declared bankruptcy in the last 60 monthsMust pass the TransUnion MySmartMove screening process (credit score and background check), and recommended by the system.If you currently live in a rental property, you must be able to provide a reference from the current landlordWhat do you guys think about the criteria I've written?

Whose name will be dragged through court and/or appear on internet sites and property records?

In the default provisions it is generally mentioned that the phrase of costs of collection to include reasonable attorney fees and costs of court, it could mention again "servicing release or assignment fees".This is not a DIY matter any longer as it use to be.

I don’t have much cash because I’m going through something with the courts right now & I won’t get a windfall until mid-February, early March (tax refund).

I have received a clean and clear judgment from the courts and was told that I could go to the Departamento de hacienda and have the property filed in my name.

Explain that you're sorry but rent is due in full on time or you will unfortunately have to file for rent court.

If I go to court and file the unlawful detainer, pay the fees due (not cheap in CA), and serve the tenant and then he decides to pay his rent - will I be able to continue the eviction, or do I have to stop, lose the fees I paid and do it all over again next month?
