Atwan Kwan Help me CONVINCE my CLIENT!!
8 February 2017 | 42 replies
@Atwan Kwan I understand about advising the client to take action against his wishes.I question the thinking on the process.I settle out of court all the time, but never miss a filing.I can be in front of the judge and if I have permission from my client to accept payment, I will do so (in certified funds, full balance) and let the judge know right then my client has decided to dismiss.BUT WITHOUT A POSITION OF STRENGTH, you can be played by a tenant who has no intent to pay and who only wants to delay the eviction until they've stayed rent free for the last few months. you stated the tenant DECIDED not to pay (obviously thinks he won't get his deposit back, or has no deposit saved for the next place).Unless your client is aware of that possibility and you protect him against it, you're missing the point.Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
