Hi, I'm John Nuzzolese, founder and president of the Landlord Protection Agency.
I hope you'll join me in a powerful, educational webinar with Cynthia Schmidt "Mrs Landlady". Cynthia and her husband, Gary, are authors and teachers of the national renowned Collect Back Rent program. Cynthia and Gary have been landlords for over 20 years with hundreds of tenants. They know first hand how important collecting all the rent you counted on is to your success!

I first met them in 2012 and got to see them present their Collect Back Rent system in Ohio when they were speaking at the Ohio Real Estate Investor's Association (OREIA Summit). I was very impressed by what nice people they are and how well they have refined the system of collecting rent money that was presumed gone forever. Many of us have old rents out there being enjoyed in the possession of our ex-tenants. Well, imagine being able to collect that money!
Imagine being able to force the ex-tenants to give you the money or go to jail! It's not a fantasy. Cynthia and Gary provide the tools and show you how to do it!

The webinar will discuss the Eviction Notices, Evictions, Small Claims to the Post-Judgment Proceedings to collect. The Schmidts have collected 90 satisfied judgments and shed a new light to the somewhat stale landlord collection profession. If you are serious about collecting your rent/unpaid judgments, want to learn more about your business or start a Judgment Assignment business-this webinar is a must! A huge stepping stone in the continuing education for the real estate investor.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
See you there!

• What Do I Do if the Tenant Doesn't Agree to Sign My Lease?
  Lease Agreement Cancellation - RIP IT UP!
  If the tenant doesn't want to sign your lease, or wants to make unsatisfactory changes in it, rip it up. That's right. RIP UP the lease in front of the tenant and tell him that this is not the right home for him and he is not the right tenant for you.

  Then go on to the next qualified tenant. That is the quickest headache relief ever. Faster and more satisfying than 3 Advils! - [email protected]
  
  

• Don't Give In to Desperation! by Ann Kaprat of TheLPA.com
  It happens all the time for many landlords. You face a vacancy at just the worst possible time of the year. Or your circumstances just aren't right to weather a vacancy. Now is when you must have nerves of steel!
  
  
• Lease Renewal Clause
  When giving tenant the right to renew the lease, please consider this:
  If the tenants are bad or you decide during the tenancy that you do not want to renew the lease, always include the words, "Subject to owner's written approval".
  If you did not provide for a rate of rent increase in the lease, this enables you to send a renewal with proper notice with an increase offer the tenant may or may not elect to stay for. - John, theLPA.com
  
  
• Automatic Agreement by No Response
  Have you ever been frustrated because a tenant failed to return a signed copy of your notice of:
  
  • LPA Lease Renewal
  • LPA Rent Increase
  • LPA Lease Update - Change of Terms or another notice you needed the tenant to agree to so that important changes affecting the tenancy can commence?

  Here is the clause to insert into your LPA Notice of Rent Increase, Lease Update - Change of Terms Notice or Lease Renewal so that when you issue a notice, it will still be enforceable even if the tenants don't return a signed copy to you. Just remember it is best to serve all official notices in person or by certified return receipt mail with the proper notice period according to your lease or state landlord tenant law. Check Lease Clause Inserts by State for your state's minimum notice period to terminate or change terms.
  <!-- Start Copying here --> YOUR CONTINUED OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES AFTER ___________________, SHALL CONSTITUTE FULL AGREEMENT WITH ALL OF THE ABOVE IN ADDITION TO AND AS PART OF YOUR LEASE AGREEMENT. (PLEASE KEEP THIS NOTICE WITH YOUR LEASE DOCUMENT) <!-- End Copying here -->

  Just copy and paste the above to the bottom of your notice.
  Disclaimer: State and local rental contract laws may vary, so The LPA recommends you consult a local attorney to make sure legal notice of this type is enforceable or useable in your local court.
  
  

• Landlord Screening Tip:
  When screening an applicant, ask for a copy of a picture ID or drivers license. Make sure the person in front of you is the same person on the application and credit report. - The LPA
  
  
  

Have you ever been beaten by a tenant on the rent?
Most of us have and unfortunately, it is one of the costs of doing business as a landlord.
On the bright side, remedies are available. If you have documented your tenancy with the proper paperwork including a rental application, lease agreement, late notices, etc., you may have a chance of collecting.

Credit bureau reporting is an option in which many modern landlords are beginning to participate....
