Confronting this cocky teenager

Pop quiz...

What makes a bad Tenant worse?

* cue Jeopardy music *

A Tic-Tok teenager who thinks rules don't apply to them.

It gets worse...

They're *kinda* right.

The kid didn't sign the lease.

No big deal. 

You can't hold a minor to a lease anyway.

But that also means you can't evict a minor.

Here's a little secret...

When Tenants feel the heat, minors see the light.

Now listen...

Telling a parent how to raise their kids ain't smart.

Them's fightin' words!

And we know The Brief readers are smarter, better looking, and downright above such a silly move.

But if you run into trouble, remind your Tenant this:

The rules in your lease apply to minors, too.

And if they don't get it together, someone's lookin' for a new home.
