I would also explain to her that she will have to pay every late fee and that, if you're using a TAR lease, any newly collected rent goes towards any prior fees first and new ones will continue to accumulate.I've moved due dates for certain tenants in order to help them get caught up, but case by case.

Bill Bell Domestic Violence and Security Deposit
2 February 2017 | 8 replies
He needs to sign a roommate off lease agreement and she signs that also, and the security deposit is listed as it stays on account with the remaining tenant.FYI,, in MN a person with a Domestic Abuse Case can give notice and basically vacate FAST, with proof of the case regardless of lease term, all that's required is that rent is paid up until date they leave, no penalty. ( if I remember correctly).Which stinks for landlords.. but protects the victim from continued abuse and the abuser from finding out where they moved to, and keeps them from returning to harass.
