[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Yes, the father is listed on the rental application -- but not the lease --as someone to contact in case the tenant has difficulty meeting the rent. I have been in very limited touch with the tenant. I call; he ignores me. He has bounced several checks, so I have asked him to send me certified checks only from now on. Despite this, he sent me a personal check yesterday, but when I went to cash it at the bank I was told that the funds were not there. I'm posting on this forum because I'm curious to hear from parents of older children: How would you react to a call from the landlord? I am not planning to ask the father for money (I agree that I can't do that since he is not on the lease). But he is listed on the rental application as someone to call about rent, and I am hoping vaguely that he might lean on his son. [/quote]

OP, I say this nicely.  Stop asking for advice as the answer is clear.  The father is listed as someone to call in the situation you are describing.  So call.  He may call his son and chew him out.  He may apologize and send you a check (I would personally do both).  But the longer you play this "what should I do game?"  The more at fault you are for not getting paid. [/quote]
