About a month ago our renter called to say that the water is leaking through the air vent from the ceiling.

That's why it's in the Real Estate Agent forum (where it's just dust bunnies and air most of the time) and not in the General Real Estate Investing forum.

The California Apartment Association (CAA) is urging Governor Gavin Newsom to veto AB 2684, a bill that could lead to expensive air conditioning mandates for rental properties.

Similar to Realtor.com the leading real estate company Zillow announced it will disclose climate risk features such as: flood, fire, wind, heat and air quality risks.

Under F.S. 83.595, landlords have 4 options when a tenant terminates early, one of which includes charging the tenant an early termination fee (no more than 2 months' rent), but if your lease agreement does not provide for liquidated damages upon a tenant's early termination, you have only 3 options as a landlord.

In fact, people are more likely to sell and move elsewhere if they are overwhelmed with the damages.

My property manager is refusing to give me a copy of an invoice for a brand new air conditioner.
