The contract should be dated after the closing of your home to you as the owner.

I just wanted to up date the above predicament.

You can sort by date sold, size, etc.

Just to clarify, they want to pay half the deposit now and the second half right before move in date along with the first month rent.Still that set off a red flag in my mind.

Amend lease to reflect the new property conditions and the new rent and have them sign and date.3) Request politely that they not use profanity, say you hear that they are upset by the change but unfortunately your hands are tied, and in response to any threats calmly assure them that "Pay rent or quit notice" will be served following the lease guidelines if they do not pay rent.Not legal advice, but that is how I would handle.I would also probably look at selling this property down the road unless the cash flow is really good.

Houses is paid off and taxes are up to date.

I have a stack of paperwork on my work desk about 4in high of all the crap I had to sign and send them... then after it was finally sent to the underwriter my signatures were out of date... so print them off sign and scan them back... for 60 days.... was a headache.

I rented my SFH to a dating couple.

We need to go through a quiet title action, and get it done before August (tax sale date).I don't think this part will be an issue, but the problem is the seller cannot afford to pay the attorney fees to get the quiet title.
