Please help! Rented pays on time but is becoming a thorn

[Benjamin Haberman]

Hello BP, One of my renters is becoming more and more of a total thorn. I made a huge mistake giving them my cell phone number too. Texts every night about little small issues. For instance, she texted me tonight asking to secure the crawl space entrance doors. Last Friday her water turned off while in shower. This was a legit concern and i had a new well drilled on Saturday. $4,000 later i basically told her i was tapped out with service requests. It gets to be out of hand. Just curious- do you hold any of your tenants responsible for anything in the house? To top it off, after the crawl space entrance text, she says the air conditioning isn’t working greAt. It makes me want to rip the central air out and tell her to get window units. It’s just non stop and is really starting to get to me. The house is old and it’s been a huge learning curve for me. There are definitely more issues with old houses but it’s getting to the point where i need to put my foot down and let them know i am not a 24/7 non stop service call center. She rented the house AS is, and i have had enough. Their $1,000 window blinds and $4,000 well is not enough. It’s always something. Please help, any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
