Thank you all for your advice! i really apreciate it

The current market rent for his apartment is about $1700. He was paying $1500, and I raised it to $1535. He told me he cannot afford it and mentioned there are roach issues. He also complained about how small the apartment is, but the $1700 market rent only reflects the size of his apartment. We already have a monthly exterminator service and provided a pest control kit, but the tenant still complains about the roach issue

he has been very good tenant past few year, however i am not very happy about his response this time.

that make sense, thank you !

Thank you! My question is, can I send a bait box for roaches to my tenant and have him place it around the corners of the cabinets?

The tenant has a roach issue, even though my building has a monthly exterminator service. He says he uses the service every month, yet there are still a lot of roaches.

I’m thinking of sending him some roach killer (the black boxes that you place around the home) to help with control.

Can I do that? What’s my liability? These boxes are sold on Amazon, and I can pay to have them shipped to him. Is this the right thing to do? I just want to check before I proceed.

I own a commercial retail property and am looking to refinance it. The rental income is approximately $4,000 per month, but every bank I’ve spoken to only allows me to borrow up to $300,000 against the property. This is despite the fact that the property is valued at over $1 million. It seems most commercial lenders base loan amounts on rental income rather than the property’s value. Are there any alternatives to borrow against the full property value?

i can't legally kick her out, unless she keep paying later after attorney letter, but she stoped after she received the letter

thank you so much, i can't let her out just like that, i wish i can as she has drive me crazy like 20 times a year with her heating issues and others issues. i have to keep renewing her lease unless she is paying late cotinuesly or no payment or i move in by myself or i sale the property.

my tenant keep comaplinign no enough heat on her unit, but she doesnt turn on the heat 24/7, 

 she pays for her own heat, as the unit has an electric heater. We have already sent three handymen to her unit over the years to address her repeated complaints about heating. In fact, we even replaced her brand new heater. I also own another unit in the same building, and no other tenants have ever complained about inadequate heating.

I’ve advised her to keep the heat on 24 hours a day, as the lease specifies that the tenant is responsible for paying for heating costs. However, she claims she can’t afford the electric bill and refuses to keep the heater on continuously. The type of heater installed is a baseboard heater, which heats up slowly and is designed to run consistently for optimal performance. Unfortunately, she frequently turns it off to save on electricity, which exacerbates the issue.

i have also sent her extra radiator heat so can just plug in , but she refuse to use because she has to pay high electric bill.

She complained about the unit's insulation and requested that we install an additional baseboard heater( whats the use if she doesn't turn on the heat) . I believe the best solution is for her to simply use the existing heater properly by keeping it on 24/7, as intended. ( which we already told her last year she has to keep her heat 24/7, and she say no way)

Additionally, she habitually pays rent late. We’ve already sent her a formal notice requiring her to stop this behavior, and we are considering eviction if the problems persist.

how can i politely let her know we cant rplace her heat because those are building heat standar, is not up tp me to add baseball heater. and she has to run he heat 24/7. and we are not add isulations to the unit. 

also hoa, refuse to get involved.

HOA reply to me, when i tell them i notice leak on my ceiling:

HOA reply: you will need to hire a plumber or handy man to figure out the leak. The HOA only gets involved when it is common area not between apartments.
