As the impacts of climate change become increasingly evident, more individuals are likely to incorporate considerations of air quality and other disaster risks into their choices when selecting a place to live. 

Also, if anyone has experience with this, what steps should I take to go after them, and what can I do to prevent such issues in the future?

Kudos to her.I do inspections on all of my properties every three months when I go in to change the air filter, check for leaks, and general cleanliness.

I don't see how a roof leak created a financial hardship that prevented them from paying an electric bill.

I’m active duty Air Force with four properties, three are VA loans.We can connect on a chat to share how I did it.I wish you all the best.

The tenants sent me certified letters threating to sue me because of air conditioning problems that I had approved to fix but Renters Warehouse did not work/communicate well with the warranty company.

Don't let fear prevent you from moving forward. 

If they move out, then you can spend the money to renovate the unit.Lastly, be sure abide by any discrimination laws to prevent potential lawsuits.

BRRRR, flips, long-term buy and holds, high cash flow, good potential appreciation in the right areas, mid-term rentals (many traveling nurses come here because of the Cleveland Clinic), Air Bnbs, etc.

I'm a flight test engineer by day, currently stationed at Eglin Air Force Base, FL (just across the bay from Destin).
