A friend of mine manages the maintenance department for a large apartment management company with thousands of units.
They’ve been sending out notices reminding the deadbeats that the free ride will be ending and when it does, every penny they owe will be due immediately or out they go followed immediately by all their stuff.
I tried the landlord game for a short time 25 years ago. We had to evict a deadbeat.
A girl from our Bible Study group got all over my case because I so heartlessly threw this guy out on his butt. I remember trying to explain to her bleeding heart that the guy was a thief and was stealing from me. He deserved to be treated as a thief.
I would of asked her if she wanted to pay his rent becouse it does not mater who pays the rent but to provide a safe place to live the rent must be paid.
