What would you do? Tenant wants to move after only 3 days in home
Hey guys quick question.
I have a new tenant moving who moved into a 2 unit of mine I purchased and rehabbed. The first night she stayed there she said she had bedbugs. So I was able to get someone there the very next day. So the tech laid out a 5 visit plan starting with the first visit that day. Long story short the tenant has only stayed there 3 days out of this month and has missed the follow up appointments. Now last night she tells me she can't stay there any longer because of the bed bugs. I started have seconds thoughts about her after she misses a couple of the showings at the beginning. She is asking for her first months rent back. There was a one year lease signed. What should I do? Cash for keys? or other options live full evictions. Thoughts...

you want to fight with her over the next 362 days? if not, let her go.
I personally would take some compensation. What does it cost to fix bed bugs, market for a new lease, unexpected downtime, etc?
