Thanks all for  great suggestions and advice. Much appreciate it. I have an attorney working on the eviction. Thanks again!

 Thanks Kim. What is the legal procedure to seek money for damages caused to the property after they vacate. Do you happen  to know ? Thank you!

Hi folks, A tenant moved into my brand new house and defaulted on two months rent within 3 months of moving in. After multiple promises of catching up on rent, they are now 3 months behind. Because they have 3 children, I waited, and have now finally filed for eviction. Now, they are contesting the eviction saying in their response to court that  I did not repair two issues because of which they are withholding rent. The issues being  1) inconsistencies in roof (dont know what this means)  2) a hole in the drywall behind stove in kitchen because of which there are spiders coming out of the wall and they had to kill two of them.

At this time, I am concerned that they will trash the house while leaving it. Is there a legal way to ensure they dont trash the place? Any experience you can share is appreciated as I am doing an eviction for the first time. This is a brand new house. 

Thank  you

Thanks all for the response, appreciate it

Hello,

I have a tenant who has been delinquent for most of the 3 months since they moved in. They eventually have paid so far, albeit late. For the month of August 2024, they are saying that they have hardship and want me to use the money they paid as security deposit (2X rent).

Legally, am I required to use security deposit towards rent when they are delinquent or can I move forward with eviction process?

Thank in advance for your guidance.

Hello,

I am looking for a good roofing company in Ocala. I need to replace roof for rental property. 

1) Any  recommendation for roofing company is appreciated.

2) Does anyone have experience in replacing shingle roof with metal roof. Does metal roof cause more heat in the house?

3) Is it cheaper to lay metal roof over shingle roof without removing shingles?

Thanks
