<<<MMHA_ RentForbearanceRequest_Form>>>

<<<MMHA_ RentForbearanceAgreement_Form>>>

<<<MMHA_ RentBalanceReminder_Form>>>

MMHA [Metro Multi-Family Owners Association} (if you can join, it is a great rental owner’s association http://www.multifamilynw.org), has crafted these for use with tenants who request a forbearance on rent payments.

 

You will still need to follow up and enforce them.  However, they can serve as a place to start.  Since COVID is changing how things are handled by the day, these may change, but are a start.  You use them at your own risk.

 

The forms are intended to:

  1. Establish that the tenant is legitimately requesting an extension due to COVID

  2. Establish an agreed-on amount of rents paid and still owing

  3. Provide a reminder of amounts owed for future use to the tenant.

Tenant Engagement Considerations

27 June 2019
Leave a Comment

A local attorney, Jeffrey Bennett of Warren Allen, has 20+ years of experience in dealing with tenant and landlord issues in Portland.

He’s written a very useful article on the subject you can download at the link below (right-click to save):

 

<<<Winning Court Strategies_Jun19>>>

 

Whether you’re an owner or manager this article is very useful.  Jeff goes over basics like:

  1. Forms and the need to keep current

  2. Delivery options and timelines

  3. 30-/90-day notices

  4. Filling in forms correctly

  5. For cause notices

  6. Charges, late and partial payments

  7. Preventing mistakes and giving yourself the best case

  8. Deposits, charges and dealing with tenant requests

 

I assure you it’ll be the best (not being over-dramatic) 30 minutes of your time invested in your apartments.

The environment for landlords was difficult and new rules don’t make it easier.  Being knowledgeable is a minimum requirement for successful landlords today.
