Seems like he cannot differentiate btwn regular wear and tear and intentional damage/ Paint requirements: Interior walls, ceilings and other exposed surfaces in rental units must be kept smooth, clean, free of flaking, loose or peeling paint, plaster or paper and maintained in a sanitary condition.

If that does not work, you may need to get coverage through the Excess/Surplus markets (ie.

Depending on the property one property could clear you over $100k or you could loose $20k a year.

(there is enough space under the roof to set up the central AC).A few pros and cons that I can think of for each option:Mini split:-Flexible room temperature control-Less costly to operate if I turn it off in the rooms that I don't use-Takes more visible space, not very pleasing to eye-Renter might loose the remote or break the unit (somehow!!)

A hinge can come loose from normal wear and tear after a year or two or ten if the hinge wears out or the screw hole wallows out. 

In return the rent will go up in 45.5 yrs and appreciate by x times in 45.5 yrs ( the time to loose the $80K)!!" 

Given I am claiming losses in excess of $25,000, it's important I have detailed logs of daily activity. 

I need a 24 hour contact within 30 minutes of one property now so the town is essentially forcing a PM for a room rental which seems a little excessive.

Electrical connections get loose and wonky, roofing material flies off, gutters get tore up, hvac and water lines get messed up. 

They asked me to return the excess money of $20500 immediately, but I told them I would only return the money after receiving it.
