Re: Landlord Tenant Law
The tenant is an adult and the landlord can and should speak directly with the tenant about the tenancy. If there is problem with the rent being paid, then the landlord would likely speak with the parent in order to collect the debt. The landlord is bound by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Acts in collecting the debt.
