@Sacha LaCoss mini splits do not require Monthly maintenance beyond cleaning the inside unit filter. I’m an HVAC engineer FYI

@Marco Padilla you have to enforce your lease. What if they’re just saying she has cancer as part of a ruse to get you to feel bad. Maybe something else happened financially and they’re too ashamed to say.

I knew a girl who said she had cancer.... even texted me during her “Chemo infusion.” Turned our she was lying to get people to feel bad for her.

The day that I can tell my mortgage company that my payment is going to be late and I expect them to not report me to the credit bureaus because my tenant has cancer is the day I let it slide.

Call me cold hearted, but banks are cold hearted too.

@Jacob Sampson not in Pennsylvania. Unless it's from one family member to another, you're paying transfer taxes. You can't quit claim into an LLC without paying 1-2%.

@Kris L. What does your lease say? You have to give “reasonable” notice unless emergency repairs are needed and giving notice would lead to further damage to possessions or danger to tenants.

@Paiea Palomanu Welcome to BP! What neighborhood is your Duplex?

 Kudos to you sir for trolling a dog post with the last name "Barker" Very Funny

Condemnation is something the government does by right of eminent domain and is for the public good. I'm no lawyer, but that doesn't apply here.  Was the heater something the tenant brought in or was that something you provided for heat?

Oh yea.  The cost of changing the code is nothing compared to the cost of losing tools, furniture, plumbing....
