Hi everyone, a couple of years ago I bought my house and around a year ago I decided to make some extra income and rent a room through airbnb. I submitted all the information and got the city permit. In the last few month we had 2 visits of officers from the Special Enforcement office, the first time I spoke with them they said they were just trying to see the airbnb listing to make sure it was in compliance with their requirements, I had guests in the room and I didn't let them in. On the 2nd visit I was not at the property but I saw them through the camera. Is it legal for these officers to try to get inside my property? I have heard so many stories about this people accessing properties and starting to place so many no sense violations. 

Hi, any recommendation on a good real estate attorney in the Scranton, PA area? I am Looking to proceed with a tenant eviction.

Thank you very much everybody for taking the time to provide your orientation. I really appreciate it.

Hi everyone, I bought a property 5 month ago in Pennsylvania, the property came with a tenant paying under market value rent (actual rent: $550, market rent $1200). Besides the low rent she pays she is very demanding, pays late and is not taking good care of the property. The previous owner made a really poor elaborated lease that looks like it is going to end in April 2025. I would like to know if there is a way I can terminate the lease based on the unclear termination date or no termination restrictions indicated? I know she won't cooperate, but I would love to get the property back, renovated and put it back to rent. I am attaching here a picture of the lease, of course keeping in private some information. Thank you.

Thank you very much Lynn, it makes a lot of sense. I will definitely consider it. 

Hi Joe, thank you, I just made a clarification on the post. I am the seller of the property, and I am trying to accommodate the buyer and his family until the closing date.

Hi everyone, I am a new user of biggerpockets, I am selling a renovated property. I have it under contract and the closing is supposed to be by the beginning of November because of some delays with the title company. The buyer requested a transfer from his job to the city where the house is but now the job wants him to start work next week, I told him we can probably let him and his family occupy the property prior to the closing date.  Is there any type of document I can make the buyer sign for these 2 weeks he will be occupying the property in order to cover myself? I won't be charging him any rent, he will just pay for the utilities used for that period. 

Really Appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for the information, this was a great renovation with very good finishes. That was actually my concern, getting the type of tenant that don't destroy the property. Thanks.

Hi Jason, thank you very much for the valuable information, I will definitely consider it to take a decision on my project.

Hi everyone, I am a big fan of Real estate Rookie Bigger pockets. I just fully renovated a House in Pennsylvania here some details. Cash Purchase Price: $43k, Renovation & other fees: $66k, Estimated closing: $13k. The projected sale price will be $180k, with a potential profit of $58k. I really don't know if I should sale it or rented out and do a DSCR, Rent will be around $1450. At the moment is not that I need this money to continue investing. What could you recommend? Thank you so much in advance.
