Yes you can legally add on to the collection fees your expenses for finding, serving, and collecting the judgment.

One thing that has always served me well in the tenant tribunals, district courts and every matter that I had to serve tenants with documents- he with the most documents wins!

To take it a step further, are they being *served* by your website, or are they just getting some info?

Whether you hire them or not they are a good resource and serve a great purpose for investors, particularly out of state investors such as myself.

The issue is that the easiest thing to claim is that they were not served.

No, I would not automatically evict, but I would enforce my rental agreement and serve the proper notice (ours is a 10-day notice to conform).

I believe you'll have to serve them with a 3 Day Notice to Perform or Quit... basically it says they have 3 business days to get rid of the pet or move out.

@Richard Gaston Of course the legal notices that begin the eviction process must be served to all three, if they are named as tenants in the lease as jointly and severably liable.

I'm just wondering if it requires the same paperwork and requirements as a regular mortgage, or if it will be easier to obtain since the house will serve as collateral.Thanks!!

Depending on state law, the agent can not serve two masters under agency law, they may represent the seller with limitations or, the agency relationship may change only to facilitate the transaction.There is a duty to inform the principal, the seller.
