Should I accept 2 Checks every month from a tenant instead of 1 check?
Hello,
I own small office property. I have a new tenant who for accounting purposes ask if it is ok for him to provide me 2 checks per month -- he will still pay on the 25th every month -- but 2 checks instead of one. Me being a skeptic -- it immediately raisied flags. But -- in speaking to his old landlord they vouched that the payments have never been late.

Is this common? Thoughts?

Shouldn't matter. So long as payments are made according to the lease agreement and there are no exclusions for multiple checks, and I've never seen that one, just be thankful that you have a tenant who pays on time!

Sounds kind of weird. Like maybe he for tax purposes is claiming one of the checks as rent and not the other. Are they from two different accounts? Is his wife on one and not the other? Regardless as long as hes not doing illegal and the checks are good what do you care.


redplumbbabythumb
He might be giving checks drawing from different accounts. Or he might be pulling some BS so someone can't trace your rent amount to his checks. Alimony, taxes, something. It's fishy but if you're getting paid it's noting illegal on your part.


BEBE
It's not common but if the checks are valid and on time where's the problem

absolutely not
send them a certified letter tomorrow stating that you can no longer accept more than one check for rent each month.

Many people make biweekly payments and are among the most regular in paying. You would be foolish to make an issue of this. Instead ask if a biweekly pay plan would better suit the tennant.


Expert Realtor
NEVER!

As a landlord myself...this is the legal reason why: If your rent, is let's say $1,000 per month, and they pay you $500, and at the end of the month, you don't get the other $500....you CANNOT file for an eviction for non-payment. The court will say that you accepted a partial payment, and will make you wait until you have went a full 30 days without any payment, before you can file.

I learned that the hard way as a new landlord.

Maybe he just likes to pay for 2 months at a time because he feels safer that way? Who knows, maybe he is paid sporadically or just prefers to have the rent covered ahead of time when he has that much money.


Big Deal Maker
Are the two checks made payable on different dates? In other words one check made to you on the 5th and then another on the 25th? Paying for rent with 2 separate checks is kind of strange. Perhaps he has a silent partner and one account is his. If it is for accounting purposes that would be why. If it is accounting then i`m amazed because the cost of the checks would not make any accounting since.

Apparently it has something to do with his bookkeeping system. As long as it doesn't affect your bookkeeping, I wouldn't care. If the checks don't bounce, it would be fine with me. He's the one that would have to answer to an audit.

Income is income. If the checks are from the same account at the same bank, then I don't see what your tenant could be trying to accomplish, I see no benefit to him/her. But, I don't think it matters; as long as the tenant's money comes from a legal source, then there is no rule that I am aware of regarding the form of payment.

If the checks don't bounce, go for it.
