The tenants lease started on September 30, and ended on
September 30, 2014. They never missed paying their monthly rent
in the three years that they had lived there. The owner never missed
any of the owner remit money. Except for some repairs, leasing
fees
and management fees for the three years that the property was managed
by DeLaney Realty, Inc. There was never any loss of rental money to the
owner. After three years of the occupants living in the property, there are
some things that can be charged to the tenant except wear and tear
In April 2014, the owner asked me to call the tenant to see if they would be
interested in purchasing the home. I called the tenant and asked him if he
might be interested in buying the home. He said that his stepson and his wife
are living in the house and he would talk to them. I told him that the
owner was thinking about selling the house and wanted to give them the first
option if they wanted to buy the house. If not, their lease was not up until
September 30, 2014. I do not know what the stepfather told his stepson and
wife. In June 2014, the stepson called the office and said that they had found
another house to buy. I was shocked! They sent in a mortgage letter to fill out
about how they had paid their rent. The lease was not in their name We told
them we could not fill it out. The mortgage letter would have to be in their
stepfather’s name. They were mad about not being able to get a letter from us.
We did “NOT” tell them that they have to move. We stated that their lease did
“NOT” expire until September 30, 2014.
The Landlord can enter the property at any reasonable times. This is anytime during
the lease, not just the last thirty days. The Residential Lease states in Paragraph
ACCESS BY LANDLORD: BAccess: Before accessing the Property, Landlord or anyone
authorized by Landlord will attempt to first contact Tenant, but may enter the Property
at reasonable times without notice to make repairs or to show the Property to prospective
tenants or buyer, inspectors, fire marshals, lenders, appraisers, or insurance agents.
Additionally, Landlord or anyone authorized by Landlord may peacefully enter the property
at reasonable times without first attempting to contact Tenant and without notice
to: (1) Survey or review the property’s condition and take photographs to document the
condition; (2) make emergency repairs; (3) exercise a contractual or statutory lien;
(4) leave written notices; or (5) seize nonexempt property if Tenant is in default
A copy of the lease page with the above information was emailed to the occupants. We again
emailed, stating the above Paragraph Bto the occupants. The listing agent sent a Keybox
Authorization Form, she asked me to send on to the tenant, which I did that very same day.
The listing agent came to our office to pick up a key to the house, which she received I have
called the tenant many times as well as my associates, most of the times we were only able to
leave a message. I did everything I could to get the tenant to work with the listing agent. The
listing agent did go to the house with the key and said the keyless dead bolt was locked and
tenant was home and would not come to the door. The same thing would have happened to me.
We could have called the police and they would have said, they have a lease and it is a civil matter.
I have talked to the TREC Hotline to talk to a lawyer that realtors can go to for answering questions
on real estate. I asked him if there is anything else that I could do within the Management
Agreement and the lease to get the tenant to work with the listing agent. He saidthat what I had
done is all that I could do
Again DeLaney Realty, Inchas never stopped the owner from marketing the property
