Great, thank you!  That’s what I was thinking, but just wanted to make sure and ask the more experienced!  I appreciate the help!

Yes, thank you!  So I just wanted to make sure that the 8 days that they accessed the property to continue to move out basically, would be considered unpaid rent.  Is that correct?

I have a house rental in California.  The tenants have been great, but the lease ended on 12/31/24.  They stated they physically moved out, but still had belongings in the property.  They accessed the property until they finished moving everything out on January 8th.  My question is, can I prorate their rent for the 8 days of January and deduct it from their security deposit? There are no other deductions that are needed from the deposit.  Thank you for any help or information!  

Hi everyone! We're looking to remodel our small kitchen (about 12 x 12, L-shaped), and convert the garage into 2 bedrooms (not an ADU, no added bathrooms or kitchen, just adding bedrooms to the house). The conversion will also have a 5x10 walk-in pantry that is open from the kitchen (garage and kitchen share a wall). I got a quote for the two projects and I just wanted to get your opinions if you think these are good estimates - high, low, or fair?

For the kitchen remodel, for all labor and installation = $20k.  I will have to provide and buy all the finishing (cabinets, countertops, tile, flooring, etc), but they demo and install everything.

For the garage conversion, including the walk-in pantry and 2 bedrooms, the mini-split system, taking out the garage door and framing it and adding siding to look like the rest of the house, and add 1 window in each bedroom, the quote was $40k.

I would love to get your opinions.  Again, this is for the Southern California area (Temecula area).  Thanks in advance!

Hi! We just started our first STR in the Yosemite area and are looking for a housecleaning service/company. Our house is in the Oakhurst, CA area. Does anyone have any good recommendations? Two people we have tried have unfortunately been disappointing so we're reaching out to see if anyone else has any good experiences with a different person or company. Thank you in advance!
