Can anyone help with the proper legal channel and process needed to recover rent from a delinquent renter. The person was renting long term,stopped paying in January, then moved out without notice. What is the process for a landlord to pursue getting the rent paid after the tenant has left?
He is still in San Pedro, but just doesn't respond.
Any help here is appreciated.

Your professional property manager will know how to handle this

I sent you a PM.

SP Daily,

Since you spoke up here. How do you work with advertisers that don't pay ?? Is it a similar process.

All my advertisers are good pay..never a problem

WELCOME TO THE CLUB - The answer is 'You can't" it seems to be a way of life here.

That is why you take a month rent as a deposit.

If you have proof they owe, $25 to file a claim in magistrates court, you'll get paid!

If you prevail, or if they default on the hearing you can take a judgment. But it most likely never be paid.

Take out an add in the newspapers and declare him as Hard Pay, that will give everyone in the country (that read newspapers) a heads up on the fellow.
