Once in awhile, even among the best of Fred Leeds properties, there comes a situation where it is no longer in anyone’s best interest for a tenant to remain in a property. This results in the dreaded eviction process.
Often times, the tenant will leave without being evicted—unfortunately, this tends to be the case when a tenant owes back rent and can’t afford to pay it. They may leave without telling the property managers. When you have a company like Fred Leeds Property Management on your side, this type of situation can be less of a stressor for the landlord.
If a tenant owes you money, you usually need to find them to serve them with court papers. Fred Leeds Property management maintains stellar tenant records, which often become a great resource for finding places of employment and emergency contact information.
One great tip for finding a former tenant is to mail the tenant a letter (it can have nothing in it) after their mail stops being delivered. On the envelope, write “RETURN SERVICE REQUESTED.” If the former tenant has their mail forwarded, the post office will return your letter to you and provide you with the tenant’s new address. Then you can properly serve them.
