(We passed the annual inspection for her house about 2 months ago, it's a superb property with absolutely nothing wrong with it, the mice simply prefer to move indoors when the weather turns cold)As a policy we have placed bait-blocks for tenants behind the fridge/stove and in the basement for free, we even place them annually as part of our Fall Inspection where we check the home and most importantly the furnace.Bet you can't guess that when we didn't show up at her house on Saturday or Sunday she kept up the frantic voicemails to our company system...and the best part is when we showed up with bait blocks on Monday (our next scheduled work day for the crew AND WAAAAYYYY ahead of the 14 day timeline we allow for non-emergency repairs) the tenant refused bait blocks in the home since she has children in the home (who access the back of the refrigerator and stove I guess, no basement in this house).I'd like to assemble a list of what LaPlante does NOT handle, so we can direct tenants to that section when they ring our phones...

Did you establish a tenant file for him which includes a copy of his driver's license (or other photo ID) and a copy of his personal check (that will show his bank account information) and information about his employment situation (for possible garnishment)?

Uber is not a job it is a independent contractor with zero job security, no guaranteed income and generally speaking engaged, as a form of employment, by individuals that do not conform to the norms of society...ie regular employment.

In AIR leases, the most common form leases used nationwide, that provision is at 150% of base rent.If your lease does have a holder over penalty provision you could use that as leverage to enforce prompt payment of the "base" rent.Otherwise I agree with the mention by another that if he's not willing to renew the lease and pay his rent on time then you'll have not choice but to employ the service of a towing service to monitor your parking lot.FYI, most commercial leases, unlike residential leases, have a grace period of ten days.

Just as employers give gifts to their employees to show appreciation for their hard work, I wanted to express my gratitude to my tenants for being awesome.

Called and left messages at his place of employment but never get a return call.  

@Kevin,The right type of account will depend on your father's situation.If his goal is simply to boost the ROI of his retirement portfolio, but keep very much within the realm of a tax-sheltered plan, then a checkbook IRA LLC - or Solo 401k if he is self-employed - would be the right vehicle.  

A marketing system employed may include all kinds of advertising efforts, some projects require full time efforts.

The longer it does the longer you have to cover costs.The houston economy only has 50% of the employment in oil, not like the '80s when it was 83%.......So it should be only 60% as bad as the 80s by that logic!

Now for the worker's interests:In this case the so called worker mentioned here is also taking on added responsibilities because he or she will be responsible for paying the money investor vs simple employment for a construction company.
