You guys are arguing a fine point in how it works.
Landlord serves tenant.
Tenant either pays, disputes, moves or stays
The only time the landlord needs to involve the branch is in obtaining an order of possession. If the tenant wants to pay, or move on their own, all of this happens without the branch's involvement. The only way they can dispute is if they have proof it was paid, or fraud. All other cases are not heard.
So yes, a tenant doesn't HAVE to do dick alllll, but realistically the system isn't really designed for tenants to game it now is it? (I could argue that point, but that's another discussion)
I can tell you that there are a group of tenants that go around doing this time and time again, and its people trying to rent shit units, and not calling references and using a sanity check on said references.
If I'm renting an "average" unit, and the person looks "average" but the reference call paints this person to be Mother Theresa and the best tenant since Jesus himself rented that 2 bed/1bath condo near the manger-well, this doesn't really pass the sanity check now does it?
One lesson learned the hard way is its damned near impossible to rent a shit apartment to a great tenant. You get out what you put in.
