[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s probably too late to advise you not to buy rental properties in DC becaus renter’s rights....

Give them 30 days notice to pay you the back rent or you’ll start the eviction process. [/quote]

Can't start the process.  In DC right now, because of COVID, you can't kick someone out.  Quite frankly, you should be happy that you are getting the 80%.  I know people who are renting at market and people are paying rent.  We have a friend whose tenant is stiffing them on $3500 per month and they also have a job.  They work for the state department and are using this as an opportunity to get over.

I would be reporting this to the state department,[/quote]

+1  We have a military contractor pulling this crap.  It took a little work but I have her CO's number now in my speed dial.  If she is late or calls with a sob story one more time then I'm calling the CO.  I don't care what happens to her clearance.  She is paying for private school but she can't pay her rent?  C'mon now.

A lot of people are taking advantage of the pandemic.  Liars and cheaters are gonna lie and cheat, and I'm gonna expose the lies and cheats every single time.  We worked hard to afford to buy the rental and it is part of our retirement plan.  I have a responsibility to my family first and I'm not going to stand still and be robbed by someone who doesn't have a moral code.[/quote]

How do you know she is paying for private school? Kid could be on scholarship.  And even if she is paying for private school it is the prudent thing to do.  She would have a contract with school.  So if she pulls kid they can sue for tuition owed.  She can’t get evicted so, what should she do? Pay rent, pull kid, get sued?  She is buying time within the law.   She is doing exactly what you would do in that situation.[/quote]

This is horrible! You are pretty much telling people to not pay the rent when they could and it is ok to take advantage of the situation. I can bet you are not a homeowner, forget being a landlord. [/quote]
