I heard a version of the "6 months" from an air force officer...


from New Jersey (I'm sure true everywhere but that fits) I forget the details but it was commercial real estate I thing and he just was talking about that "and no one ever pays the last six months" so yeah, you write the contract knowing that ahead of time.

And yeah, there is truth to the latter comment, you better have a heart of steel. Also be big enough to have your own lawyers and burley men full time otherwise the lawyers you hire will rip you off too - probably work with the judge to prolong the eviction.

Posted a story about a women who had a bakery in Columbia and ended the lease a couple months ago, the proprietors of the strip mall increased the rent and wanted a five year contract.

I was thinking jeez, with half the shops closed wouldn't you lower the rent during this time of Covid to keep renters in place? But the more I thought about it the answer is no, they're probably telling the other shopkeepers "Don't even think about it" it's better to let everyone know you're an asshole and you're not going to budge.

Once again, I learned something.
