If it were me I would ask for the full security deposits from the current owner at closing. How he gets it is his problem.

It is the landlord's responsibility. You didn't cause the hole.

Make sure that you document everything so he doesn't charge you when you leave.

Was the charge so serious that they needed to break down the door?

Thank you for the replies!

@Scott Weaner Would you mind expanding on your response a little? Are you saying that tenant A is the obvious choice and that choosing tenant B would be a bad decision? If so, why?

Why? Because I answered ***-backward. I really meant "B"!

I have thought about charging tenants a pro rata share when it is not possible to sub meter due to the existing piping. I usually end up coming to the conclusion it is not worth the extra work to track it and bill back the tenants each month.

If I thought this way it would cost me about $500/month on just 11 units. It IS a hassle at times, but still worth the effort.

I am always wary of HOAs.

Nice looking house overall.

The only thing that I don't like is the paint. The walls are a bit too dark, and I prefer white ceilings. Just personal preference. I would like to use that shower, though!

If you were to go with a townhouse, find a subdivision without an HOA.

Probably the fact that the home is on the planet Earth!
