Just say 'no thanks'

Don't be nice.

Not when it comes to being a landlord reference.

Sure, the tenant seems lovely.

Paid rent on time.

Mowed the lawn.

Maybe even left you a thank-you note (wild, right?).

But here's the deal:

One kind word could land you in a world of hurt.

Say you tell their new landlord they're a 'dream tenant.'

A week later, they're hosting a raging house party.

Guess who's getting dragged into court for that glowing review?

I'll take 'landlord' for $500, Alex.

Seriously, skip the calls and emails about Tenant performance.

Don't act as a landlord reference. 

It will save you headaches.

And maybe a trip to the courthouse.

Keep it quiet with issue #141 of The Brief.

A landlord just got sued because they couldn’t keep mum. Don’t let a kind word cost you cash — zip it and stay lawsuit-free. #NotLegalAdvice
