evictions: Tsk - The Season! - 11/25/10 05:05 PM
Being in Property Management BY ITSELF is a huge chunk to deal with especially at this time of the year.  No matter how well the tenants have been screened, it seems to NEVER FAIL that managers report a lag in payments in this season at a rate of 10 to 20% of late or NO collections!  From the rents expected to recover, some may not be seen until income tax refunds come in from rapid filing!  Tsk The Season!

Typical Rent Delaying Excuses Heard: 
Uh, you UNDERSTAND, It's CHRISTMAS!! - Interpretation:  Y'all DON'T deserve to have one! Calling to say, we will be late, but we WILL pay the late fee! - Interpretation: We overspent! Something came up, but … (39 comments)

evictions: Property Management - The Illinois 5 Day Notice - 11/25/09 03:07 AM
In Illinois, the 5-day notice can be served to the occupying tenant or to a member of the residing family aged 13 or older. 
Placing the notice under the door can be contested in court.  The notice does not have to be served on the premises.  It can also be handed out at a job, or anywhere the tenant can be found.  We usually track the date, time, and name of the person to whom the writ was served in the event we will be called in to verify.
The attorney we use for evictions does not recommend posting the 5-day notice unless it's done by the … (16 comments)

evictions: Squatter Moves In Rental House Without Security Deposit!! - 03/09/09 06:19 PM
We had not been notified in advance, and had not received a security deposit, rental payment, tenant application, or a current credit report!

So.... when the alarmed tenant called with a report of a squatter who took up residency in the lower quarters of their rental house we knew exactly what to do and this would NOT be tolerated!   It was not necessary to revert to the rental policy manual!  This uninvited intruder, sneakily moved in sometime during the night!  This was a PEST!  
I quickly did a Google search and came up with:
Safe Squatter Control - A site that has a gadget called a "Squatter Guard"* Squatter-Repellent.com - They have a product called "Shake … (19 comments)

evictions: GOOD Tenants for Owners in Illinois and Indiana - 08/12/07 10:40 PM
We, at Rice Property Management & Realty are honored to release good tenants to occupy homes of property owners who have entrusted their investments with us.  These very good tenants are trustworthy, reliable, accountable, and have become good stewards while renting our homes and apartments.  Our endeavor is to fill every vacancy with lessees as such in our Indiana and Illinois service areas.  These good tenants possess the qualities to become homeowners themselves if they so choose.  We have had much success!  
With numerous accounts of horror stories in circulation, an indefinite amount of property owners have become wary and a large amount are terrified of taking a risk with their investments.  Determined instead to … (8 comments)

evictions: New Eviction Procedures for Illinois - 08/07/07 07:52 PM
We received this fax a few days ago from our Attorney whom we use for evictions:
After a week or two of rampant rumors, the Sheriff of Cook County, Thomas Dart, has published new rules concerning enforcement of entered Orders for Possession, On July 30. 2007 the Sheriff announced by publication that commencing August 6, 2007, the Sheriff 's office will no longer provide moving crews.
While the procedure is somewhat confused and convoluted In the Sheriffs documentation, it appears that the new procedure will parallel that which has been in effect for commercial evictions in Cook County and both commercial … (8 comments)

evictions: Even GOD does EVICTIONS! - 12/31/06 11:20 PM
                                           
GOD evicted HIS First man, Adam - why? because he did NOT follow the rules of the lease! HE gave man the option and man chose what man wanted to do! Why do we think we can make something work when GOD himself  allows man to suffer the consequences of his own choices? Throughout the Bible, there are examples for us to learn from without us having to E X P E R I E N C E it  first hand ourselves!
God spoke to Adam in Genesis and said to him, (and i'm putting it in "simple" language) "dude, … (47 comments)
