I received notice from my bank today of a returned check from one of the tenants. The bank charged me a $5. fee for their hassle. I should have done a better job of screening my tenants. A returned check can happen to anybody once or twice. However, I have been conditioned to equate bad check to bad person. Now I have to deal with it; just as it is about time for them to pay next month's rent. This is my policy on returned checks:
- I will no longer accept checks from said bad person.
- I will charge said bad person a $20. fee for the returned check.
- I will not give said bad person their check back until they reinburse me in full for the check amount plus my $20. fee for dealing with it.
And that's all I've got to say about that......
