IF YOU KNOW YOUR TENANT IS IN NONCOMPLIANCE BUT YOU CONTINUE TO ACCEPT RENT, YOU MAY TIE YOUR HANDS

1.   The moment a Tenant is in noncompliance, you must serve your 7 Day Notice of Noncompliance with Opportunity to Cure.

2.   You cannot enforce your lease if you have allowed a noncompliance to continue after you found out about that noncompliance.

3.  Once you serve the 7 Day Notice of Noncompliance with Opportunity to Cure, you must CEASE accepting rent as accepting rent creates a WAIVER.

4.  You CANNOT allow a tenant to violate the lease, ignore it, take rent and then one day decide you will try to enforce the lease or evict.  

5.  The typical examples of property managers allowing a noncompliance and taking rent would be for unauthorized pets, unauthorized occupants and failure to take care of the premises.  There are MANY more examples.

Do not think you can let something slide and accept rent, then one day decide to enforce the lease.  It simply does not work.

If you accept rent, you are accepting the tenant’s noncompliance and you will be stuck with the noncompliance as long as the tenant resides on the premises.
