Tenant abandon my rental and is asking rent refund and moving out expenses reimbursed
Hi Investors..!
I have a tenant that reported moist in bathroom on July 9, 2013. We hired contractors found that there was an issue with roof and in record time, conducted repairs from July 15 to 20, 2013. Gave tenant refund of 5 days that home was a mess during renovations. She continue complaining about moist and we hired a Home inspector/mold specialist on July 29 2013 and he recommended a mold remediating specialist that will conduct the process in record time from August 12 to August 15. Expert stated that during remediation process tenant can be in the house and he did a test on mold type and also said, home is safe to live in, even with mold.
Tenant requested a copy of Home inspection report and without our authorization showed her attorney who speculated about the nature of mold and the length to remediate the issue. Tenant vacated home on July 8 2013 and is requesting a rent refund for month of August and also that we cover her moving expenses and her attorney fees. Has nay one deal with a case like this? I am hiring legal to help and all contractors will be done with home by August 15 2013.
