Unless you're in Austin, I bet you can.Next option, which you might want to do either way, is to send them a letter with delivery confirmation (USPS priority mail is great for this, because it doesn't require a signature and they can't avoid proof of delivery since the postman just scans it before they put it in their mailbox) that says that although you have accepted late payments with late fees in the past, going forward you will be enforcing the due date in the lease, including starting eviction proceedings according to law if payments are not paid on time per the lease.Then, when they don't pay on time next month, take the appropriate steps for eviction.And honestly, if it was me, I'd do this anyway.  

Here is that form:RETURN OF POSSESSION & REFUNDS[Your name, address and phone number goes here]Tenant: ____________________________________________________________Rental Unit Address: _________________________________________________The tenant returned possession of the premises (as stated above) to the landlord on the date of ____________________ and attests that they have returned ALL sets of keys to the landlord.The tenant attests they have removed from the property all personal belongings.If anything was left by the tenant and later found, it shall be stored and/or disposed of by the landlord as per law.Security Deposit:As per agreement and as required by law [cite the law for your jurisdiction here] [ours states: within fourteen (14) days after the termination of the rental agreement and vacation of the premises or the landlord’s learning that the property has been abandoned, the landlord shall mail to the tenant’s last known address a full and specific statement of the basis for retaining any of the deposit together with the payment of the refund due the tenant under the terms and conditions of the rental agreement.]The tenant paid a security deposit of ___________, which will be considered for this purpose.New address provided by tenant: _________________________________________________________________________________Telephone provided by tenant: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________Landlord Signature, DateTenant Signature, Date

Should you have additional question, please do not hesitate to contact me.Sincerely,Signature[NAME OF PROFESSIONAL]

With RHA, you'll not only need RHA's approval, but you'll need the tenant's signature on the form before providing it for consideration to RHA.

Reach out to Jason if interested at our phone number in the signature.

With an FHA loan and a co-signature from my mother (for my lack of credit).

The reason I am not renewing my lease is: ___________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________ ___________Tenant’s Name Tenant’s Signature Date__________________________ _____________________________ ___________Tenant’s Name Tenant’s Signature DateThis renewal shall become an addendum to the original lease, and the terms and conditions of the original lease shall remain in full force and effect.Sincerely,Management

And if you also require a signature, they can refuse.  

As long as the major factors are included on it with both signatures I'll save myself a lot of trouble and not get bogged down with all the extra wording and all.  

Frozen capital until the market resets to new normal.By summer economic vacancy of 15% becomes the new normal.Vegas condos in trendy hotels like Signature MGM, VDARA, Palms are selling for $150-250k.Hospitality assets will be trading on ten-x auctions and $1M will buy you a 100 key Quality Inn in a decent metro like Tucson, Houston, etc.Multifamily holds on the longest as operators scale back cap ex and race to the bottom on concessions, rent price, etc.Retail strip centers in urban sprawl suburbs sit vacant no debt market or tenancy demand.
