50 mistakes landlords make
Most landlords who lose a case were in the right. They lost on procedure — a notice period counted wrong, a statement sent a week late, a text message that became evidence. One mistake at a time, what each one costs, and the document that prevents it.
- 01 Changing the locks on a tenant Prohibited in all 50 states — and it turns their unpaid rent into your liability.
- 02 Keeping a deposit without an itemized statement Miss your state's window and you can forfeit the right to deduct anything at all.
- 03 Raising rent without the right notice period A defective notice does not shrink the increase — it voids it.
- 04 Entering the unit without proper notice Coming soon
- 05 Serving a notice the day after a repair complaint Coming soon
