I get angry just reading your posts about not collecting the full rent. These failing tenants take advantage of seniors, women and wussy landlords.

I have had eleven years of three different sets of tenants and the rent has been paid in full and on time in the form of post dated checks for the year lease term. As the above says go the full legal route to get rid of these deadbeats.

My daughter and son in law rent out their old condo. The latest excuse from the new tenants who own a coffee shop was "we had to buy some new coffee machines". They get the rent but it comes late every month and they have to bug them for it.

Get references from prospective tenants and be firm and fair.
