ngic: Yahoo! Rental Prospects are FINALLY Asking....Is This Home Going To Be for Sale?
- 01/23/13 01:48 AM
I don't manage properties which are on the market for sale. If they become a brokerage listing for sale, I transfer management duties to the listing agent or property owner for the balance of the tenants' lease. As the property manager, I am rarely consulted when there is a miscommunication or problem with the residents and the listing agent until after the situation has exploded AND listing agents who want to automatically place a lockbox on a rental property can not treat the occupants like they have an interest in the property being sold.
Finally....rental prospects are asking 1) IF … (6 comments)
ngic: TENANTS! You No Longer Live HERE! Stop Using The USPS Mailing Address!

ngic: Why I request only ONE Check in Payment for Rent...Money is Money, right?
- 01/13/13 08:46 PM
I've had a stipulation in my resident handbook for over a decade that I only receive 1 check in payment of rent....residents who do not follow this instruction frequently get a REMINDER e-mail from me.... If I get multiple checks..... 1) 1 check (roommate) check bounces, they ALL get a pay or quit notice since the ENTIRE rent has not been paid.
