A few years back (12+) I had a renter that didn't want to pay up.. he was 4-5 weeks behind, there was an issue with the real estate and the property manager stealing money. So I gave him a months free rent. Let's move on from there I said, benefit of the doubt. He says nah I paid 3 months in advance. Oh please the bloke was always behind, he had no receipts to prove it. As soon as he saw an opportunity with the dodgy real estate all of a sudden he claims he paid up 3 months in advance .
He dug his heels in with new real estate that I give him 3 months free rent. A late night visit one Sunday night, to "explain" the rules as I see them
and remarkably monday morning he pays all his rent upto date,
. He even started cutting the grass. The real estate was flabbergasted at how he backflipped
This Morrison call about rents will see the same thing, the renters are licking their lips.. for those landlords who will get bitten, give me a call and one Sunday night we go and equalise the situation.
