State Specific Question About: NEW YORK (NY)
WE are partners in a property management company in Syrause, NY. WE have a client (landlord) that wants us to rent to an undesirable tenant. This tenant's last landlord said he was a nasty, noisy horrible tenant. Our client is adamant that we rent one of her apartments to him because he can do some handy work for her. She has many properties that we are managing and we do not want to lose her. My question is, can we do an addendum stating that we don't think it's wise to rent to him, but because she is our client and we will do it with the understanding that if he needs to be removed from the property, she would be responsible for removing him. Also, if any fees are incurred, other tenants involved or hurt, she would be solely responsible and our company not held liable due to her insisting on us renting to him. Any ideas. --74.102.xx.xxx |

Yes you should, but I think you should consult a Real Estate attorney before you do the addendum. --96.25.xxx.xxx |

What does the management agreement say about controlling applicants, perhaps this is not a tenant applicant but under the sub-contractor agreement. --75.94.xxx.xxx |

I think you need to fire that client. She will get you in hot water and cost you money. Who is the manager, you or her? --75.160.xxx.xxx |

I had a "similar" situation where the owner of the property wanted me to place one of their 'friends'. I did it but then they stopped paying. The owner then was "upset" and demanded that I do something about it. I did what I normally do but when they really started to give me crap about it I said "hey, you placed them here, not me ... why don't you call them since you personally know them". They actually didn't know them, it was a "friend of a friend". Friend eventually moved out (paid in full I might add; yes, I'm that good :)) but he did some "renovations". Took out a wood closet and apparently decided he needed heat and burned it in the fireplace. Replaced bath vanities (not well, I might add). He was a "MR Fixit" too and worked at a home improvement store where he could apparently get things "cheaper". Too bad he didn't know how to improve a home. Yes I inspected but this was all in the last month of his tenancy when he 'ran out of money'. Not sure where he got the money to get a new vanity and I didn't ask.
Long story long ... look at your long term, not short term. I would be hesitant on the fact that the owner is telling you that this person can do some work for them on the property. Are you kidding me? I NEVER allow the tenants to perform work on a property. It is in my lease that they are not allowed (I don't care if they are skilled or not). If that's what your client wants then they are micro managing you. You need to take control. you get to choose your Clients and your customers, just like they get to choose you.
By the way ... did you advise the Client WHY you do not want to place them? If they 'over ride' your decision you need to ask yourself why they need you.
Good luck. --74.78.xxx.xx |
