You'll end up in court with a lease agreement that says rent is $1, and the recommended tip is $1,999.

Where I am, for example, I might contact Windsor Aughtry or KB Homes.

Even the best property management companies (PMC) struggle with:- Finding reliable handyman and contractors (ServiceTechs)- Same with affordable ones- Tracking preventive maintenance- Tracking previous work for potential reoccurrence warranty coverage- Understanding tenant reported problems, so the correct ServiceTech can be dispatched- Determining if tenant is at fault for an issue & should be charged - and will proof stand up in court?

The real issue is that they didn’t have a plan to monitor usage or set up protections to minimize costs during the eviction process.Ideally, the PM could’ve done things like:Limit access to unnecessary areas to reduce power use.Install smart thermostats to keep heat at a safe minimum.Request a utility cap in court during eviction proceedings (if allowed in your area).Bottom line: It’s less about the utility switch itself and more about proactively managing costs once the tenant overstayed.bro what? 

However, their lease is up in two months, so I would only focus on non-renewal for now.In my book, I explain methods for removing tenants without evicting them through court.

They still owe the back rent as evidenced by the fact that your resident gave you a credit card authorization.If CFPB doesn't have a solution, then you have to decide if going to small claims court is worth it.

@Preethi S. why would the PMC give you $4k, especially when they know, as an attorney has already told you, you are unlikely to win in court?

The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), which requires businesses to report Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) to combat financial crimes, is now facing uncertainty due to a recent federal court ruling:What Happened?

I'm thinking about just taking him to small claims court, can that be done? 

The strip of land is utterly worthless to anyone but him but he's happy to pay $450k to resolve everything without the courts input.I retain 100% of my building, 99.999% of my land, and 100% of my existing mortgage.
