One of our tenants is not paying rent since last 3&1/2 months. Everyday he comes up with a new excuse and passes time. We did not sign any agreement/lease when we gave the place on rent.
If I decide to proceed legally to obtain the debt, what is the procedure ? As a landlord, is my case weak becasue there is no proof of payments or rental agreements ?
Yesterday, he said he will give a check to me. I am pretty sure the check would bounce. Should I just take the check from him so tnat later I can use that check for proof of his debt when it bounces ?
I am also thinking to get his signatures & finger prints on a promissory note so that I can later use this also as proof that he owes me money
Please tell me if a check & promissory note serve as proof that he owes money to me.
Please advise me.
