Just wondering how you would handle a certain situation. This would be the third month renting to my present tenant. She called on Sept 2 to inform me that the chq that I had deposited on Sept 1 may not clear. Of couse it was too late at that point to do anything but wait. A week later I contacted her and she made an arrangement to pay me the full amt plus penalty tonight at 5:30 pm in cash. Very sorry, she claimed that it wont happen again. My question is ...what if I go tonight to p/u the cash and she doesnt have it? I would like to follow strict guide lines and start the ball rolling right away as I am a new investor and cant afford to not be paid. Any input of the steps to come would be greatly appreciated.
