PLAYING GAMES WITH A TENANT’S DEPOSIT OR PREPAID RENT IS A MAJOR MISTAKE IF THEY ARE FORCED TO VACATE DUE TO STORM DAMAGE

1.   If a Tenant voluntarily vacates after major storm damage, consider yourself lucky.

2. If you try to charge the Tenant for removal of their personal property after they have vacated and turned over possession to you, you will have a fight on your hands.

3. If you try to charge the Tenant for other damages to the premises, be 100% certain they are not related to the storm damage.

4.  If you want the Tenant to vacate, the Tenant does or will in fact vacate and the Owner wishes to keep the Tenant’s deposit or prepaid rent because “The Tenant broke the lease”, then the Owner will need to use another law firm if they need assistance.

It is crucial that you contact our office when something serious has occurred to the home or you have a dispute with the Tenant.

If you delay too long after a problem has begun, we will be unable to assist you.
