It would appear that the landlord is required to pay 5% simple interest for anything over $50.I read somewhere else that interest is paid at the prevailing rate. 

I tell tenants, prior to filing, that it will appear on their public record regardless. 

But there are times that despite the property manager's best efforts, a tenant will turn out to be a different person than how they appeared on the application.

TeamI am checked out REALTYTRAC (just a glimpse of it) and it appears to be giving some GREAT details if I sign up for only Trial.

They mentioned several times that prices started at $1,000 on some houses (but of course made no mention of a reserve price) and they interviewed one buyer, who apparently bought a property for 75% of it's "worth", which paging through their catalog appears to be the highest price it had ever been listed for.The reporterette never once mentioned an actual price that someone paid for a house.

Sure enough, they were all there and high as a kite: the tenant, her shack-up SECOND boyfriend; the 14 year old and his shack-up teeny bopper girlfriend; and the two small children who appeared to be unharmed.

If I apply for a business credit card and use my social security number will this appear on my personal credit, or will it stay seperate as business credit?

But, at the same time I would do whatever's reasonable (while not appearing desperate or weak) to protect my own interest.I've always found it's best to have a listening ear and empathize with the tenant.

Here, you can charge an equivalent of one month's rent only as security deposit and the court has subsequently ruled that the "one month's rent" it is equivalent to is the very first month's rent.

I think before forming an LLC it's important to understand WHY you're forming one, what are the repercussions, tax wise, insurance wise and otherwise of it being done correctly/incorrectly and then seeking COMPETENT legal advice, which is familiar with OH tax and RE law.REI had a recent post on here about people who confuse the "appearance" of being an investor, over-concern with business cards, business name, entities etc, with the actual doing of business.all cash
