Landlord/Tenant Questions & Answers

Kimball, Tirey & St. John LLP
- Question: My tenant asked me to accept a payment from a third party for half of her rent. We have a policy not to take third party payments. Can I refuse?
Answer: No, you are required to accept third party payments provided that the third party payment also comes with a statement that says that the payment would not create a landlord tenant relationship with the third party.
