She accused two other tenants constantly of making messes they didn't make (i would have to check with other people to see who made small messes, ie leaving bits of granola on a counter, or not putting away of the broom properly). 

I’m admittedly a pessimist, but what happens when one tenant says something is missing from their car and they accuse the other tenant of stealing?

she said he was hanging with seedy people, he had accused her of doing drugs, he was stealing her stuff, and accusing her wrongly of cheating. 

However, I wouldn't volunteer this information and I would keep the leases handy in case they again accuse you of violation of the rules.

Then again, if I am finding the deals, what do I need a Realtor For since I'm doing the important work (or so it seems from the Investor's point of view).Now, I happen to be getting my Broker's License soon and I've learned a lot about the law from studying the Broker's Exam.There is a lot about illegal Market Allocation, where Realtors are accused of just marketing certain locations or properties, etc.There is even a case study where a Brokerage was sued for not looking at ALL the properties when a Buyer Client bought their home missing some important Listings that were similar but less expensive.I can see why Realtors want to give a full list.

Ouch! Another good reason to use a competent servicer when dealing with distressed debt. One of the first things on our servicer's (FCI) list is checking for military duty status. https://www.nationalmortgagenews.com/...

“The failure of a landlord to provide such conditions can lead to violation of the law and impose civil and, at times, even criminal liability upon the landlord”.Please read up on your local laws as relates to landlord obligations for habitable premises.This to me is a no brainer and am sorry am not trying to be mean to you.You inform tenant of your duty which his really to their advantage and then you go in and address.If tenants want to prevent you from treating, then suggest that they provide you with suggestions for pet friendly/kid friendly pest control to use and suggest that you will attempt that for a short period of time to see if it works but in the end, if it does not you will need to come in with a different approach, different product to address the situation.If said tenant continues to fight you on the issue, I suggest moving to contacting an attorney about providing a notice to comply or quit possession.You are running a business here.The unaddressed rodent activity is only going to get worse because you have a tenant that is difficult.Document your approach to resolve and try to have them chime in with their own suggestions on the agreement that if it does not work you will have no choice but to use an alternative.I would then start working on rethinking that lease term as that there sounds like a tenant that will bring you trouble.You have a legal duty and if a tenant is keeping you from completing it, that there is a problem as the same tenant will turn around and make false allegations and/or accuse you of not addressing the issue when all along you have been trying to do just that.Be the boss here, it is your property.This is like a grown kid that wants to test your limits, I suggest you put an end to that nonsense as life is too short and you have too much else to do than allow your time to be wasted by stubborn tenants.Side note:Glue traps – so cruel and gross.Peppermint has worked well for me too as @Marci Stein suggests. 

Everyone will assume their house is nicer than it is and bump themselves up tiers only to get "hurt" and accuse you of low balling when you explain the actual condition. 

This way I have absolutely NO money to deposit, nobody accuses me of stealing their money and I leave the whole process up to the applicant. 

The last answer I got was " Because my landlord is accusing me of dealing drugs and letting my dog pee all over the carpet. "........That's pretty much all I needed to know haha.Good luck!
