[quote=spdrun]Lease is invalid without initial payment. You dodged a bullet. Tear up the lease, tell the nice folks to take their nice selves elsewhere. Not your problem. If they can’t get the initial payment right, what makes you think they’ll pay on time in future and you won’t have problems with rubber checks?
At the very least, demand a few months up front to give you time to evict them if they make a habit of not paying.[/quote]
You can’t demand a few months up front for any reason. There are very strong laws in how you work out getting money during application and that isn’t part of it.
