The other important factor is to encourage new members to interact and stay, rather than the many previous one hit wonders.

Reason being we want to encourage them all to stay here and stay active, not scare them away or make them feel intimidated to post.That stated, I must respectfully disagree with your advice.

Nice words of encouragement.

This is actually encouraging to me.

If so, you will probably need an attorney, go to court, and get a judge to rule in her favor allowing her to stay, but you will probably have to present a darn strong case.Sorry I don't have any more encouraging advice.

You are suggesting to set up the note in a way that will prevent an early pay off instead of encouraging it.

Thanks for the encouragement and happy belated!

I do the same as many have posted: give a longer than required notice (60 days vs 30), mention what a terrific tenant they are and how I've reflected this fact in the amount of the increase, encourage them to call me if they wish to discuss this matter or any other, etc.

All have central air conditioning, (not evaporative cooling), 2 car garage, and all are at least 3 years newer than mine.
