I can't understand the mental gymnastics it takes to live/invest in a community that is so dangerous you have to have bars on your windows.

The late charge term changed the tenants opinion of the late charge and made them prioritize rent over their other monthly payments.

One final consideration is that not only tenants have mental issues.

The late mortgage payments shows a lack of prioritization to housing, but they may prioritize differently with a smaller landlord versus a big corporation. 

The expense ended up being billed back to the tenant after five hours of back and forth over the course of the next week, the larger expense here was the amount of mental energy, mindshare and headspace that this took up to get done.As a passive investor, the operator has onsite professional management and an asset manager to manage the professional onsite management.

Both of the residents had mental challenges, and, there was a very odd, but strong odor notable from outside the house.

Thank the “Every student should go to college no matter the plan” mentality of parents of the previous generation.)

Your other options are to consider non-renewal of the lease as you might have to just tough it out until the end of the lease.If you do need to stick it out with the tenant until end of their year lease, I would now define that cashiers check, money order or cash are the only acceptable forms of payment due to her history of bounced checks. thats also in my lease that its my prerogative to demand certified funds... this way there are no further excuses with check problems and you can go straight to filing if they are late....pretty bold going on a cruise while rent check bounces.. their priorities are all out of whack.... they need to know that their stuff goes on the curb following an eviction and they need to re prioritize their finances to make rent number one.

Therefore, it is paramount that everybody adopt the mentality that their LLC or Corporation is a separate being from themselves.

Just prioritize.
