Collection Techniques for Landlords

• Overview
• Credits

For many commercial landlords, consistent receipt of rent and other tenant charges is the key to their business. Most leases outline specific collection techniques and security mechanisms, such as security deposits and guaranties, intended to ensure that the landlord receives rent and other tenant charges consistently. However, the lingering effects of the recession are causing landlords to reevaluate these techniques and security mechanisms. These reference materials are designed to take a look at “standard” collection techniques and discuss why they may not be as effective as they have been historically, to identify alternate collection techniques for landlords to utilize (with respect to both current and future tenants), and to discuss bankruptcy-related considerations landlords should keep in mind when attempting to collect from their tenants.
