Need to make in depth repairs at end of lease...

[Chris Shelton]

I own a duplex that I'm house hacking, making repairs in my unit and bringing it more up to date. My tenant's unit is very much so in need of some in depth repairs, one of them being the wood floors need to be re-finished...very badly. In order to do that the unit needs to be empty. Wondering if it would be worth taking the month or so hit (not renewing their lease) so I can live in my current side while working on the other unit and get it up to a more live-able standard? I hate the idea of it because they're pretty good tenants and would hate to see them go but in order to make the necessary repairs I don't see any other option. Thank you!

Cheers BP!
