PTSD from a Nightmare tenant ... looking for a path forward
Hi BP Community,
I have been in a 2 year battle with an experienced squatter tenant that knows how to work the system. I have finally gotten a court date to get back possession of my property on March 15th, 2022. I have lost a lot of money on this property (around 8K) and need to try to regain ground on my losses. Any suggestions from experienced landlords on how to recover after a bad tenant sets you way back? or any upgrades for under $1000 that will allow me to raise the rent?

Thank you for responding. Yes. I had a property management company, which I had to fire. The tenant ran circles around the old manager. I hired a new manager and we finally got an eviction through. The property is located in Philadelphia, PA. It was updated in 2019 (New kitchen- shaker cabinets, stainless appliance, granite, new toilet, and vanity in the bathrooms). It was renting for $1325.
