- act promptly when rent is late, and
- terminate a tenancy.
Review Quotes
"Unblighted by unnecessary legal jargon...this is as necessary as a rent receipt book or a good repair person." Los Angeles Times
"Nolo has published incredibly useful lay guidebooks and consumer software on legal issues [since 1971]." San Francisco Chronicle
"From the Author" Nolo has published this book for decades, and nothing comes close to giving landlords the legal and practical information they need to stay out of legal hot water and run a profitable business.
