I bought the place almost a year ago and now it is rented and the president from HOA call me to say that I need to paint my screen door to match the green color. She realized this as the neighbours installed a different door and she says they did it because they say my door was a diffrent color. My door is the right color just the screen door is black. where as the neighbor actually changed the entre main door to be a mismatched color. I dont feel its right for me to be asked to do this as I brought the property as is from the previous owner and I dont have the time and resource now to take care of this.

Does home insurance cover removal of tree. I have 2 trees on my property that are causing ants and are about to fall. 

What is the best way to handle tree removal.

but in my case they seem to be coming through the outlets. Could the problem be very worse as we saw ants a few weeks ago but never did anything and now they are coming through the outlets in the kitchen. is ants in the wall a big problem?

Does anyone have recommendations on if one time treatment will solve ants problem. I'm seeing ants in the wall electric sockets and in the bathroom and attic. Companies offer a service program or a one time treatment. Does it matter would I need it more than once.

Can I deduct from security the cost for having to go to an office as my tenant had a delinquent account and they would not make me the owner for it until I prove to them that I am the landlord.  I had to explicitly go to the office to handle due to his delinquent status and feel I have the right to deduct for my time.

This is the image.

They are too pushy and rude. But how do I write it so I am not blamed for anything.

The overall recommendation was ACCEPT but one of the individual had a DECLINE with a 600+ credit score and both had a remark of 

Current address does not match
Address submitted has been reported as suspiious.

Tenant moved a heavy piece of drawer and the path that it was dragged in has a huge  line which shows the damage. How do I address this. Do I charge the tenant for the damage? These are original hardwood floor. Repalcing will cost 1800$ so how much can i withhold from the deposit. 

Thanks.

I was considering a tenant for my rental and asked them to fill an online credit check with MySmartMove. The system recommended one of the occupants as DECLINE and so I declined their application and now they want written reason. How do i handle this as I don't  want to get in trouble and genuinely declined based on the systems recommendation though Credit score was ok.

They sent email saying: We request our requisite copies of our Transunion credit checks, and written reason for being declined as legally required.
