My states who is living there . I would not be comfortable with strangers sleeping in my home. This is a violation of the lease.

I have the impression he is a paranoid schizophrenic, and if he is actively delusional, you could potentially be in danger. This is not a situation you want to be in . best that he live in a supervised home.

I have waived inspections on a few purchases. I assume it needs almost everything, so the purchase price has to make it worth my while.  however, I have to be very familiar with the property and location. 

for me It has been a way to grab up properties that other people want who have more criteria. 

North Adams has a long way to go before it is not impoverished and flooded with crime and drugs. Whoever buys in that area is definitely looking at a very very long term  buy and hold situation, most likely with evictions in the process

Why would you not pursue it? 10 K is not a drop in the bucket .
I would not let it get to that amount next time. If they are late for one month I give them a three day notice.

I’ve decided to sell and not renew my tenants lease. However, I would offer her the option of staying up to 60 days after her lease ends March 1 , 

since she has been there 10 years.

Anybody know if there is a formal 

non-renewal lease form 

I should send, a regular lease for 2 months, or simply a written letter of my own ?
Thanks!

Thanks very much Laura . I appreciate your reply.

I’ve had beautiful tenants for 8 years - 

never once late with paying rent, 

but I am ready to sell the house.
The lease ends in 3 months.

What’s the best way to let them know I’d like them to move because I’m selling ?
They cannot afford to buy it. 
should i go month to month or not renew at all ? Thanks very much!

What is the point in having a lease if you’re not going to adhere to it? I would not have let her out one month early unless she pays for it.

What exactly is wear and tear anyway ? if the condition is not the same as when they moved in , then they are responsible.
