Best Answer

It depends on the proposed tenant's past rental locations. If they have rented in a larger corporate owned apartment complex, any grossly late rent payments probably have been reported to a credit bureau.

If they have only rented from private parties or smaller complexes, then the best method is to call the rental references on the proposed tenant's application.

That said, in my years of renting property, I have narrowed it down to this... Applicants with good credit scores typically make the best all around tenants.

Does power of attorney give you the right to collect rent on your fathers houses?

Yes if you have a general POA or if that power is specifically mentioned in a limited POA and if your father has tenants. The tenants you collect from have the right to see the original POA and should be provided with a copy for their records to show that you arranged for them to pay over the rent to you. They should pay by check made out to your father.


Does resident owe rent to nonresident in 'tenants in common' house?

A resident does not usually owe rent to a non resident in a house owned by "tenants in common" if the resident is one of the tenants. When a house is owned by "tenants in common", all tenants share use of the house or property. If one chooses not to use it, that is his business. (Of course, what is usual may not apply in your local area. There are also ways to end a joint tenancy.)

In a month-to-month tenancy at will, the landlord can raise the rent by giving notice that the current tenancy will be terminated at the end of the next month, and that, if the tenants want to stay after that, the rent will be more. Today is May 11. If the rent is due on the first of each month, and if landlord gives notice on or before May 31, then the tenants are obligated to leave at the end of June, or pay the new rent on July 1.
