Smoke and Mirrors
So a tenant who has been slightly difficult since move in approximately (Dec 2012) who hasn't paid rent this month (eviction process underway) to say that she can't afford the property because the electric bill is extremely high and she will be moving out on March 1st because she can't afford the rent if her electric bills are going to be that high.
The very next day I get a call from Codes & Compliance stating that they recieved a complaint and was at the property and only thing I need to secure baseboard heater in the bedroom ( clearly they broke it or knocked it off the wall, it was secured when they moved in).
I go by to assess the problem and leave, she texts (same day) me stating that another baseboard heater has wires sticking out of it and wood panels around the windows are a safety concern for he O_O.. I go back after I purchase what I need to secure the baseboard..no one answers.
I think she is trying to find fault in the property as to susbtantiate her breaking her lease..what are your thoughts and or advice.
