Friday Fail – Excuse of the Week

August 11, 2017 by Kallie Peterson Leave a Comment

“It’s not MY fault that YOU have a mortgage!”   It is a fairly common belief that owners of a rental properties have a lot of money, the reality is that most do have mortgages that have to be paid. Mortgage companies don’t except the excuse of, “my tenant didn’t pay rent this month” as a valid reason why they didn’t get the payment. Unfortunately, the end result of not paying the mortgage is a foreclosure and then both the tenant and the owner suffer.

I know I didn’t ask if it was ok to get a dog, but I did anyways. What do you mean I can’t keep him…. he’s family!   When someone decides to rent out a property they have the right to choose if they would like to allow pets. Simply getting a pet does not mean that you will be allowed to keep it.  Talk with your manager BEFORE you bring a pet on to the property to avoid legal consequences.

How many times does a tenant need to be locked out before they understand they were evicted? Sometimes way too many. Recently we obtained an eviction order and had the tenant locked out. Later that evening, the tenant broke back into the property and resumed living there as though noth- ing happened. The police were called the following day and instructed them to leave. They left and a few hours later returned. The police were called again, and waited while the tenants re- moved motor homes and vehicles and the property was secured.

I can’t pay rent this month because our dog ate some of the carpet from the living room and had to have surgery to remove it.

Sorry, I can’t pay rent right now because YOUR lease says we have to abide by all city and state laws. Now I have to get my dog licensed with the city and have to pay for a rabies shot so they will give me the license! All for a dog that wasn’t authorized in the first place!!

We can’t pay rent because while we were on vacation, the rent money fell out of my pocket. I think it was while we were on a ride in Disney Land….

I don’t have the money for the rent, because I spent it all on Christmas presents for the kids. You don’t expect me to tell my kids they don’t get Christmas presents, do you?
