One of the most difficult aspects of owning a rental property is collecting the rent from your tenants. The reality is, tenants will come up with any number of reasons to not pay their rent on time. In fact, The Landlord Protection Agency has recorded hundreds of actual excuses that will make you laugh or cry, because some of them could have been your own tenants. At Austin Fleck Property Management in Gilbert, AZ, we’ve heard our own share of excuses over the years: “I broke my leg,” “I wrecked my car,” “I had to go to a funeral,” or, “I was diagnosed with cancer.” And you thought teenagers cornered the market on excuses like, “My dog ate my homework!”

Your Business, Your Investment

Please don’t misunderstand. We’re not saying for a moment that these circumstances are not unfortunate or even horrific. But remember, this is your investment. If you called the bank and gave any one of these excuses as a reason for not paying your mortgage, would they let you skip a month? Of course not.
