Sometimes you have to plant the seed in order for it to grow. Don’t worry it takes time but it will grow on its own pace. Giving back and helping our PM nerds is the key 🙃

This happens a lot more than you think because of the fraudulent documentation the applicant presents to home owners. I think it’s important to have a right screening system including but not limitless to selfies, paystubs, bank statements, rental verification, employment verification. As a PM I have found fake paystubs where the YTD information didn’t add up, making 15 an hour and YTD is 35,000, and it’s only February, that’s when you know they altered the docs. Or you approve a person that has great credit, employment and rental to find out they stole someone’s identity, this happened a lot during Covid because we weren’t meeting with people. We have upgraded our process to detour these situation, from happening.

@Danielle Bilumbu Hey Danielle sorry to hear that, so a few things happen..(PS I’m not an attorney but I will recommend legalshield for small businesses, I pay$39 a month you get one free consultation, they review the information and if it really goes into lawsuit they referral an attorney in your area for 25% off for being a member of legalshield) 1)if it’s a tenant demand letter saying they will sue, have the above respond saying it was a lease transaction the owner did not disclosed any information indicating the house was being foreclosed and maybe attorney can recommend putting owners information so she can try to get her issue resolved. 2) they have tried to communicated with you and they haven’t gotten a resolve and it goes to actual lawsuit this is most likely done on Jp court level you can go and represent yourself and take lease listing or management agreement to show what our actual duty was which was lease the house, can also take an attorney to Jp court, these court give residence the right to sue for up to $10,000, (might have gone up but not relevant) 3) if you in fact made an error our EO insurance covers our mistakes, which I don’t think you are at fault but what I have learned is get your insurance involved to cover your bases and if you did make a mistake they will cover you under your policy. They provide an attorney they determine you didn’t make a mistake and defend you that’s why we pay insurance monthly. In my scenario I didn’t make a mistake it wasn’t my personal rental and I went through my actual insurance because 1,000,000 was a lot to dispute. I hope that helps let me know if I can help you clarify anything else.
