Bigfoot wants this in your lease
Jun 08, 2023Picture this:
Your Tenant flies the coop faster than a squirrel on an espresso binge.
And you have no clue why.
All you found was a handwritten notes, 'Gone to Narnia. Toodles!'
To your surprise, he left the place pretty clean. Well, kinda.
You're keeping some of the security deposit.
The living room's new mini-golf course isn't exactly move-in ready.
You know to send the Notice of Security Deposit Withholding. But you're not sure where.
It's like trying to send a love letter to Bigfoot - where does that guy even live?!?
The law makes you send notices. Even if you don't know where to send the bad boy.
Sheesh.
That's why you get a Tenant's forwarding address in the lease.
Just don't make it awkward.
Say something like 'Hey bud, where do I mail your stuff after you're out?"
Bonus points for sticking it in the lease.

Let's be real - you've got better things to do this summer than playing lawyer. You work on tan lines; we've got your leases.
