New to MHP business–park in Texas. Tenant got married and my manager has told him that any one staying over 2 weeks per the rules needs to have a background check run on them and be added to the lease. Tenant keeps saying, “oh yeah I will get you the application” but never does. what are my next steps? If she does have a bad background would I non renew or what would be my actions?
Thank you
Pat
Send a demand letter with the application enclosed. “If application has not been receipted for processing by X date then your lease will be terminated and you (and/or your home - if TOH) will be evicted in accordance with Park Rules, Section A, Subsection 3. We will subsequently follow up as needed based on the results.”
I’d really suggest you get with a local attorney to cover these nuances of enforcing your rules and how to handle background check criteria the first time - even certain counties (their JP’s specifically) like to have things done a certain way in Texas. Understanding those up front is much easier than when you’re in the courtroom and have to go back and try again… even if it costs you a couple hundred bucks.
Good luck and keep us posted.
