when buying a tenant in place property, i meet the tenants, before even going into contract. you find out so much from them that the seller wont mention.

replace it youself, but paint his side a really ugly color before you mount the boards.

and the english is bad.

i called the police on mine. they came out and issued a warning. dog quiet ever since.

a fee in addition to rent??run away

is her 5 day in writing? i would file eviction based on construtive reliance. that is she notified you she was leaving and you relied on it. solves a lot of ab1428 issues.

I did this on 2 rentals. I went to the tenants ahead of time and talked about the deal. Raise rent by $75 a month, but electric cost saving should cover all that and more. Paid cash for the system. Fed tax credit, 5 year depreciation, and local rebates for me.

Was a win-win for all.

Make sure the roof is fairly new or you will need to R&R the system in a few years,

Somebody mentioned solar lease...DONT DO IT. As a realtor I have lost deals due to crappy solar lease companies not accepting new owners, and other delays.

sound to me like you did everthing right. i would ignore her until a lawsuit, but keep the deposit disperal doc handy.

in cali, i get my best leads from craiglist. lots of crap to wade through, but there are gems in there too.

surviving tenant paid all the expenses. amd now has moved out. left the place in perfect condition.

Definitely charge more than normal. You just went through renovation and clean up. Want to do it all again in 6 months?

Offering that kind of cash with no credit history? Two words for you .. METH HOUSE.

Would you put a big sign on your forehead saying "SUE ME?"

If not, find another tenant.

Sell it and buy elsewhere. Ohio is the most landlord friendly state in my opinion.

Im in CA, where the rental laws are just stupid. I am making the rental situation worse now by selling them (taking them off the market), and 1031 exchanging there. Hmm I get almost 2 for 1, and about 1.4X on the combined rents. I guess I am a bad guy. Goodbye CA.

I use aaoa.com. Have for years. Potential tenant pays them the fees, we both get the report. easy-peasy.

SO should I split it and give half to each? Maybe open an interpleader action and deduct it from the funds (which will eat most of it?

Yesterday. Left place beautiful.

I would never give money until I have read the lease. It is the ground rules for your rental relationship. Cash at signing is fine, but not until you have had a chance to read the rules and ask questions.

Textbook example of a scam.

Gutter cleaning once a year is also a great idea.

Are you in fear of him? Get a restraining order. He then cant come within 300 feet of you.

already complaining? finf a better tenant

the cal tenant protection act will still apply. had the same situation. courts ignore the exemption sections. in my case, 60day wa given, lease expired, and the tenant was in jail. i still had to use an atty for a full eviction. Cal is terrible towards landlords.

that an actual service animal IF really trained to detect Ketones. I have a tenanr with a dog that dies just that. I have seen the dog react 15 minutes before his monitor shows it.

the dog actually saved his life once, waking him from sleep. he was able to take his meds ,then collapsed. finally the meds kicked in and it became a minor event.
