MISTAKE #5 NOT KNOWING THE LOCAL EVICTION LAWS
ASSUMING ALL STATES OR CITIES HAVE THE SAME RULES OR USING OUTDATED TEMPLATES.
Why it’s a problem
CONCLUSION Avoiding the above mistakes allows landlords a clear and legal path towards having the right to collect any unpaid rent. Once the proper steps have been followed, the use of a collection agency that understands rental laws and maintains full compliance can significantly improve the chances of successful recovery. An experienced agency understands rental laws, follows strict compliance standards, and has the resources to pursue payment even after a tenant moves on. For landlords ready to take the next step, you can click here to start the collection process. Eviction laws vary widely, and mistakes can cause cases to be dismissed or restarted. For example, a landlord may post a three-day notice based on an old requirement, unaware that the jurisdiction now mandates a longer timeline along with mandatory legal disclosures. These errors are avoidable yet extremely common. Another overlooked mistake involves improper service of notices. Some areas require both posting and mailing, while others have strict rules about who is legally allowed to serve the notice. Using the wrong landlord entity name on forms is another detail that can cause delays, especially for owners with multiple properties under different LLCs. • Learn your state and city’s specific notice periods, service requirements, and court procedures. • Use updated forms from local housing authorities or landlord associations.
