Rochester NY LTR Tenant 4K damages

[Jamie Dupont]

We have a LTR in Rochester/Greece NY that is under PM. We served the tenant 90 day notice as she was throwing massive parties in the home with complaints from neighbors, etc. Have not cash flowed the property for 2 years with her living there as she breaks everything (another reason she’s being served notice). PM sent us a laundry list of photos and repairs from damages in the home. $4200. Not to mention, asbestos siding that would not have been an issue, is an issue as that also has a massive hole in it. The insurance company sent us a letter telling us they will be dropping us for that reason as well. We have $2100 security deposit, however she also skipped out on her last month’s rent and PM did nothing. Therefore, we are on the hook for all of these repairs and at our wits end figuring out next steps. Any advice is appreciated. This is our first LTR and we are devastated. We fired the first PM that PLACED her because they did a terrible job. Therefore we’re trying to be proactive, however it’s a mess.  Not to mention, we are evacuated from this cat 5 hurricane at the moment and really having a difficult time thinking clearly at the moment. We do appreciate any advice on what we can do to be better.
