Undestood. Thanks everyone. Was hoping to hear advice from landlord.
I already replied once . What bothers me is all legal document he attached on email about fair housing thing. I Undestand but seems like extremely unnesary. 

Hi,

I posted a rental online, and an agent emailed me about his tenant, who has an unqualified credit score (around 600). I already had someone interested in submitting an application, so I did not reply to the agent’s email.

His email included attachments, such as a Fair Housing PDF and other legal documents, which I did not want to engage with. He sent 2 follow up emails, and I took down the listing about three days ago, yet he is still emailing me his client’s information along with the Fair Housing PDF and other documents.

I do not want to deal with pushy people or those who try to pressure me. The applicant I have now has a 720 credit score and is well-qualified.

Can I just ignore this agent since the listing is already removed, or should I formally inform him that the apartment is off the market? I mean what kind of agent will email you 3 emails in 1 week without you even reply to them 

Thank you.

Thank you all for taking your time to reply to me! I will tell my tenant no.

Thank you all, so the apartment is the market rent apartment , you can find a apartment might $100 cheaper for one bedroom but is not same size, they one bedroom I have is about two bedroom size . A kitchen with dinning table and chair. For same size one bedroom I am under charge my tenant for about $50 to $100 dollar.

Hi everyone, my tenant Sarah sent me a message asking if I could keep her rent the same this year. Her email was polite, and she expressed appreciation for the home and my role as a landlord. However, she often has small requests, and I have always tried to accommodate them.

she is those typic tenant who sweet talk to you but constantly bugging you and won’t let you increase her rent. Fake nice drama tenant I called.

When she first moved in, she mentioned the words lawyer( altho is upstair tenant isuue to me) and  I told her to go ahead. Last time, when I tried to increase the rent by just $35, she fought hard, and I had to tell her to either accept the increase or move out. Now, she is reaching out three months ahead of her lease expiration to ask for no increase again.

How can I politely but firmly tell her there is no way i am keeping the rent the same? If you have dealt with a similar situation, I’d appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Thank you everyone. I have decide not to out it for now. And decide to add later

again I apreciated everyone’s advice! Thank you 

Thank you for all your replies, I got two different answer. So I will do more research and decide if I want to spend $500 on such small area if backsplash.

thank you!

The handyman keeps telling me to install a backsplash. He says he can do it for $500, including materials, using simple white subway tiles. Do you think it is s worth it? This is for a small kitchen in a one-bedroom rental with a mix of white-collar and blue-collar tenants. The kitchen also has a 60-inch cabinet.

I bought an old condo, and had my handyman and his guys went to do some work at house. Painting and floor installation and new kitchen cabinate. Now the job is almost done and management company is asking me for work compensation and insurance say I have un-authorized job done.  What’s my best option to argue there. I can just say I only paint the wall with my friend and paint the floor and paint kitchen cabinate. What else can I do in this case to dispute or to make things easy now that I already renovated the apartment. Any experience ?

thank you
