@Erica Gordon Hey Erica! Congratulations on your first duplex! First tip, always keep a spare key to both of your units! I’m currently locked out of mine LOL

But I used my realtor to find my tenant, and don’t regret it. Sure I still had to pay the realtor, but she landed me a wonderful tenant! I use apartments.com for electronic rent payments and water bill payments.

And yes, it is so wonderful to connect with another woman close in age and local. Good luck!

Good afternoon all,

Trying to determine best nexts steps. My neighbor has a hole in their roof and in their porch ceiling. I began hearing loud banging noises in my floor and could it turns out a raccoon has traveled over into my porch ceiling. I let the neighbor know and asked that they handle it immediately. They had someone patch a hole, but now there is another one. I had a company come out today and was told it would be $600-900 for removal and closing the hole. What do I do? The neighbor reports that they cannot afford to resolve the issue. I have reported this to 311, but if they don’t have the funds nothing will be done. Any advice? I can’t deal with noises from a raccoon any longer.

@Patricia Steiner

THANK YOU! I completely agree with your comment. Sure, keeping the peace is the EASY thing to do, but it comes down to the fact that the property belongs to me. I’m not paying for their conveniences. I am currently working on getting a gate up, have cameras, towing signs, one private property sign, a light that activates at night, and will add anything else I need to until they get the point!

@Colleen F. Yes! I would like to keep the peace as much as possible. I live on a quiet block with mostly elderly people. Thank you :)

@Colleen F.

Thank you for the reply! I have no issue with the tree being cut, it was the principal of the landlord not communicating with me first. This person on the property could have been anyone.

Hi all. I’m checking in after getting my duplex in a C class area in Philadelphia. I’ve been having some trouble with the tenants in a property next door. First issue: the LANDLORD hires a gentleman to come through my driveway to cut down a tree. The gentleman was behind my car. I asked the gentleman to leave the property and instead of him leaving, of course he found it acceptable to argue. It escalated to the point of me calling the police.

I reached out to the property owner to attempt to gain some common ground, which surely did not happen. Long story short, the property owner seemed to find it appropriate to allow a stranger that she hired on my property.

Just two days ago, the landlord’s tenant decides it was acceptable to block my driveway to make a sale of a motorcycle. I asked the gentleman who was blocking the driveway to move his vehicle. The gentleman refused to move the vehicle and again began to argue.

I called the police yet another time unfortunately. After the gentleman moved his vehicle and the police leave. The tenant decides to address me about calling the police.

Listen, at this point I’m finding the landlord responsible for the tenants behavior and realize that even the landlord lacks common sense.

What do you all think of this? I hate to get cops involved in these situations, but we have a ticket to tow law in place where I must call the police pertaining to the driveway.

@Aaron David Lietz

Hey Aaron! I will be following this thread because I have been wondering the same thing....

@Bjorn Ahlblad

I’ve heard about the free loaders. LOL thank you!

Hi y’all. This is my third post on BP. I really appreciate the encouragement from my previous posts. So I have gotten the rental license for my owner occupied duplex in a C area. It’s time to find a tenant. What’s my next move? Do you all suggest I do this alone or get help?
