That is really dependent on the area, the tenant, and several other factors. This might be a fantastic tenant other than this issue. Do you really want to take the chance? I think that others probably have it correct when they are mentioning pipe and toilet issues. That is far more likely than a human being able to do this on a regular basis.
Well Fantastic tenants don’t cost you money every month or suggest you buy a 1000$ toilet . There’s thousands of tenants so why yoke up with a guy like this long term who is hurting your business and costing you money ? His health problems shouldn’t be your financial problems ! He isn’t a great tenant unless it’s a 501c or unicef ..
I have had bad tenants before and there is a huge difference between bad ones and good ones. In today's environment, you might be lucky just to have one that pays on time depending on the property and location. I will bend over backwards to help someone that is a good tenant. In CA, $1000 is next to nothing, so it depends on the area, as I mentioned. A hot water heater here is $1500-$2500 to replace, leaks, plugs, etc. are measured in the thousands. Of course, rent is $1400 a month for a one bed, one bath.
