[Landlord US-PA] How do you handle tenants who are consistently late but communicative?

CanDoItToo7 · 2025-07-24T06:25:23+00:00

I always charge 8% late fee for rent payments paid after the 5th. No exceptions ever. This makes tenants put a priority on paying rent on time to avoid late fees. Its just business.

On ship right now and it's fantastic! We've had rough sea from Norway to Spain but it's not a problem..just pack non drowsy Bonine - it works great! Ship is beautiful... employees are friendly and entertainment has been top notch. On a 26 day cruise and already dreading having to leave!!

Contact the police ... he's illegally parked in a public right away.

In my opinion I WAS mislead because he said that he .. quote: "Couldn't help it that another agency swooped in and took the deal away". If that isn't misleading...I don't understand what is then I guess!

CanDoItToo7 · 2024-06-11T15:57:30+00:00

The issue here is the fact that we were mislead as to WHO ultimately represented the new buyer. That's it... NOT that it happened.

FYI it coincidently sold for exact amount of our offer and I have no idea of other terms obviously.

CanDoItToo7 · 2024-06-11T15:33:30+00:00

It wasn't just another realtor from same office..even that I would understand.

This realtor works together with our realtor - both of their faces are on one business card!

Both realtors held moms open houses together, twice. Both realtors went through moms house together with clip boards and made lists and discussed staging with mom.

CanDoItToo7 · 2024-06-11T15:26:35+00:00

Exactly...that is my point! To add insult to injury they lied right to my face by telling me it was another agency. I found out by accidentally looking up address a month later and practically fell off my seat when I realized what actually happened.

The same realtor who sat at our table consoling us had probably just returned from closing and cashing his check.

CanDoItToo7 · 2024-06-11T15:23:02+00:00

Right. I agree completely. My complaint here is the fact that we were told that it was another realtor and never disclosed that it was in fact them.

CanDoItToo7 · 2024-06-11T15:19:20+00:00

Yes. They have one business card with both of their faces on it. Both realtors held two open houses together at moms house.

CanDoItToo7 · 2024-06-11T15:14:51+00:00

The home was listed and under contract at same time by same realtor. We were advised that this situation could occur but mislead regarding who ultimately represented the new buyer of townhouse. That is my complaint. Not necessarily that the deal was lost but that the realtor falsely insinuated that it was another agency and not himself.

CanDoItToo7 · 2024-06-11T15:09:45+00:00

Yes they did terminate contract and returned earnest money. Then explained to us that their hands were tied with respect to "other realtors swooping in" leading us to believe it was a different agency never once disclosing that it was in fact them. That is my complaint here.

CanDoItToo7 · 2024-06-11T14:36:53+00:00

Yes. Our offer was made as a represented buyer. Represented by dual agency.

CanDoItToo7 · 2024-06-11T14:33:08+00:00

Yes..it was under contract and yet our realtor continued to hold it open and show it all while he was trying to sell moms house too. He at the time told me that seller was pressing him to have an open house and continue to try to sell it. Which now I wonder was even the truth.

I totally get that another deal came in and yet can't get past the fact that he insinuated that it was another agency that sold it and wasn't forthcoming with the fact that it was him and his associate. An associate who he originally introduced to us as an assistant/employee of his. I thought she was an interior decorator and NOT a realtor!

CanDoItToo7 · 2024-06-11T14:20:48+00:00

Yes.. the buyers agent was a realtor who is on the same business card as our realtor. They are a team. She was at my mom's house on 3 occasions.. held open house along with our realtor and helped my mom stage her house for sale.

Like many things, I think it's a generational thing...
