[quote=gzz]Yikes, that someone would even ask this is a huge red flag. I’d want him out ASAP.
Send him notice of a rent increase and tell him you’re happy to prorate rent so he can quit the place mid-month right before he leaves for his trip.[/quote]
LOL.
This guy is far from being a non-payment risk. His credit checks out fine, he makes over $100k/year his rent is $1550, and he lives very frugally. I know he has the money, he’s just. Well, cheap. But he’s not going to try to game the system, mainly because he’s still on an H1-B with years to go before a greencard. So I know he’s not going to try to pull a fast one on me.
I’m pretty sure when the dust settles, he’s not going anywhere. And like I said, if he decides to move out on his own, financially it’s better for me in the long run since the market rent is way higher.
I just don’t really need the money right now and if raising prices means dealing with him squak more, I’d rather not. I mentioned that a few times to him that you know the current rent price is around $1700-1750…. He was pretty quiet after that.
Doesn’t really matter. I’m pretty well paid at my current job, and now that I officially hate my job, I’m not really putting that much effort into it. The company just recently doubled it’s 401k match for the remainder of the year, and I’m expecting another round of retention bonuses since they are having a tough time keeping people. Oh, and my stock accounts total just crossed over the all time high yesterday…again…So I no longer need to chase after the maximum return of everything.
I just want him to make a decision one way or the other. I’ll ping him again next week.
