Thank you all for your great advise on this. What kind of blanket type of insurance I should buy to mitigate risks of any type of potential lawsuits from this problematic tenant. Is it good idea to give 60 days notice to this tenant? What reason I can give to give 60 days notice to this tenant? My property manager is not that great especially after some big mergers of PM companies no time for them. They say one email per week for all my properties issues. I did my best to remove the mold and part of effected insulation using one local mold remediation company as per their recommendation. Tenant is not trusting the job of local mold remediation company. He texted me as below today 

I have had contact briefly with PM. I was able to look into the attic and I saw nothing but old soiled insulation. If I recall correctly the inspector indicated that the old black soiled insulation would be removed and new would be installed. I do not believe this was done. Secondly I have been advised by my Dr to be tested for mold, parasitic, allergic or breathing problems. I had test run and I go back on Tuesday 8-27-24 for initial results. I all fairness to you to have placed my auto draft for my rent on hold until I get information about possible residual health problems. I know that my actions may cause me great problems but I see no recourse at this time. Please do not contact me directly. You are paying for PM to manage your property and I feel it best that they do so. I like you but I am facing a possible problem not of my making. I hope you can see this through my eyes. Tenant

Is it good idea to sell this 1967 property which gives more maintenance issues compared to other newer properties. This location is very good and lot of condos and townhomes are getting built and getting sold at very high prices. I like to keep long time that way I can gain more equity in next few more years.
Please advise

I had a roof leak a few weeks back at my property. My roof contractor fixed a hole next to the skylight which fixed the leak issues. I took help from mold contractor who remediated mold at the property. My handyman fixed the sheetrock after remediation that was cut by the mold team. This old Tenant had some minor surgery that mold remediation day when these repairs were done. Tenant left the key in the lock box and the contractor, a handyman, took care of repairs. I asked my roof contractor to remove the skylight and replace it with a normal roof as well (which he did a few days back).

My tenant is saying to the PM that he is getting medical testing done now due to mold related health issues. The PM says this is potentially shaping up to be a lawsuit that my tenant is interested in. The PM says he needs to send his own licensed mold inspection company now. I am thinking it is better to leave all communication of this problematic tenant to the PM rather than me directly communicating and sending my own contractors to save some money. Is that is correct approach? What steps I can do to avoid any kind of potential lawsuit type of situations. I am still with the same old Robert title 1 management company which you recommended (which is acquired by Pure Management company). Please advise.

Compared to wooden retaining wall store or concrete retaining wall more durable and long lasting? This wooden one rotten now. I wonder why rail road ties are hazardous material? 


I am still thinking what is best approach here. What type of contractors can check and give a best suggestion by looking at it. If it is just cosmetic purpose rail road retaining wall I would like to get rid of it. If it protects building by not shifting ground I will replace with concrete one.

How to find how much life is left with existing retention wall?

Tenant is not able to go to that area to cut the grass due to this 3 feet high retention wall. Due to that small forest type of tress growing in that area including poison ivy plants (I spent lot of money few months back in clearing that area from all the those poison ivy plants and forest of big old trees grown over the years touching the roof and leaning towards building). I slightly tapered down one side using one bobcat contactor help so that landscaper can go from the the corner where city catch basin is there. City catch basin getting closed with leaves and debris which city is not maintaining at all. 

>>You could just pull them out and taper the soil on the slope down and plant grass.(option A) Or build a new one.(option B)

My biggest question is not able to decide between option A vs option B.

If i go with option A tenants can manage that area well using their own landscapers every once in 2 weeks like that. But option A seems dangerous to property as it seems shifts the ground damaging the foundation and building as mentioned like below
>>Designed to prevent the ground from shifting.

From the nearest wall of the building this retention wall is at about 15 feet away.

At one point i thought of putting some gravel for better water passage but dropped that idea as it cost money and becomes more harder to maintain by tenant or me in future

Please advise

Hi,

My tax consultant is busy and said he will file 'corporate tax act information filing' later but never got back to me. What is last day for this? Any penalties I have to pay. Any website where I can do myself? Please advise
