It is a common perception that a rent payer is the one who has all the responsibilities, like paying the rent on time, paying the bills, keeping good terms with the owner, taking care of the house and informing the owner of any issues right on time, and the receiver of rent just has to sit home and enjoy the rent money.
This perception is totally untrue.
Just like the renter, the receiver of rent also has certain duties and responsibilities, both official and unofficial.
The receiver of rent may be the owner of the property or any other item which is to be rented, or a person assigned the job by the owner to collect the rent and take care of other responsibilities.
In both the cases, the receiver of rent has certain duties and responsibilities which cannot be neglected.
The duties of a rent receiver are included in the operating clauses of the form order, provided by the granting court.
These duties appear to be simple, but if you put yourself in the shoes of a receiver of rent, you will surely find that these duties may become challenging sometimes.
The job of a rent receiver can only be handled by someone who is mature and responsible.
The first responsibility is to legalise the property, which is to be set for renting purposes.
The receiver has to hold possession of the property, which is to be rented, and its legal records, documents and leases, which may also include on-site equipment leases.
The bank account information of the renter is to be acquired, and the security deposit is also to be collected, if applicable.
Next is the rent collection, which is the fundamental duty of a receiver of rent.
The receiver must regularly collect rent from all the tenants and open a bank account, in order to deposit this rent cash.
If the renter is not able to pay the rent on time, cancelling the contract is not the only option.
The receiver can discuss the reasons with the tenant and set a date on which the renter will be able to pay.
One should keep a track of this schedule, but should not give so much room to the tenants that they start neglecting the duties on their part.
This is a critical and challenging matter for the rent collector, so moderation and rationality is required here.
In case of damages, the receiver has to manage how to pay for the expenses.
The easiest way to manage such a situation efficiently is to obtain the insurance of the property.
Similar expenses are to be managed in case of a renovation.
Minor changes like locks, door-knobs, washroom accessories etc.
are also to be taken into account.
Such things must be changed, and an inventory of the property must be prepared and filed with the court.
Last but not the least, the receiver must always keep good terms with the tenants, and take special care of health issues like deferred maintenance and the presence of fungus or asbestos.
