9 - 12 months is what works best when you want the fewest move-outs. The position you're in, if you raise rates at 3-6 months, then some will move out so you can re-rent at a higher rate, and the rest will just be paying the higher rate. Win-Win. -
Isn't that just the best place you can think of for those services??? I can't imagine thinking that going to a storage for this was a reasonable idea. But then again I can't imagine going anywhere for that is a good idea!
I had a male prostitute at my first property. The day I asked...Leave a comment:

Most properties I've been at have just had open space above (but only about 4 inches or so to the ceiling). 1 had enough space that we put chicken wire over all the spaces. But none really had enough space for someone to access another unit from there.
And it really did come in handy...Leave a comment:

What's the difference if they pay now and then he gets behind again because he died (it seems clear that his family won't come clear out the unit)? I would just proceed with the lien process now and be done with it.
However, the easiest way to handle it would be to have him sign it over...Leave a comment:

I like the videos of people taking as long as they can to mess with those guys. Waste their time so they can't reach someone who may fall for the scam. Very entertaining to watch the tables turned.
JERKS!

I used to have a father/son that would take turns renting 10x20's and actually moving everything from unit to unit (10x20?!?!?!?) every month or 2 for the discount. It took me a while to catch on because they would move things after office hours. But once I finally saw them together moving things...Leave a comment:

I have many customers over street rate, and they still get regular increases. I have never had one ask about a lower rate online. Generally, once they are in they don't look anymore. If someone did complain, I'd give them 2 options: 1) split the difference on the increase with them, or 2) they can...Leave a comment:

My last property gave me a company AmEx, but usually it's just petty cash to get what I need.Leave a comment:

I haven't tried to contact them since the very beginning of the company. At that time, my call was returned by the owner and we talked for a while and worked through whatever glitch I was having. I wonder if they are growing faster than they can keep up with. I sure hope not. It's a great produc...Leave a comment:

I either just tell them I'm married or I tell them it's against company policy to date a customer. That puts a stop to it right away. If they ask why I'm not wearing a wedding ring, I tell them it's because I don't want it to get damaged with all the physical work I do around the property.

I have no doubt I added a few gray hairs that day! But I still think my kids have the most to do with the grays I've earned! And I have earned every one of them!!!...Leave a comment:

Last summer we had an elderly couple moving in using a friend's truck with a lift gate. Husband thought holding the big electric piano while on the lift gate was a good idea. Needless to say, his blood was all over our driveway, we got friendly with EMS and firefighters, and his wife finished unloading...Last edited by MamaDuke; 28 April 2021, 07:32 PM.Leave a comment:

I would put them through the lien process. If they didn't remove their own locks, there is no way I would consider them vacated. People give notice every day and then don't actually move out for months or years. I wouldn't be willing to take any chances there!Leave a comment:

No. It's clearly better to keep hitting things repeatedly!!!

Everything in nature boils down to chemicals, even water (H20 is a chemical formula!), so I guess they worked that out well for themselves, didn't they???Leave a comment:

My tenant base is primarily long past retirement, so we could never go 100% eLease. But we do have many using online and kiosk rentals now.Leave a comment:

They just kept hitting things one after another. I'm glad I wasn't the dealer getting that truck back!Leave a comment:
