Owner says rents are about $2-300 under what they could be but with the tenants being loyal and the way they are their own small community she recommends not raising rent.All 7 homes run off of 2 wells.Some differed maintenance but overall nice condition trailers range from 70s-80s model Owner says property manager/handy man lives next door and handles everything for her from maintenance to collecting and deposit rents.

That journal entry also debits a special Asset account “Due from PM” that decreases that asset and inscreases when PM direct deposits and the transaction matches as deposit on “Due from PM”. 

Not only was the security deposit 'owner held', but January rent was sent as well. 

Under the circumstances, assuming move out inspection was ok, would you return the entire deposit? 

@Daniel Mendez As much as possible.If we do a holding agreement to take the unit off the market we try to get them to pay the first month rent and any other move in costs other than the security deposit, which they pay at lease signing. 

I’m not sure of the laws and processes in Canada, but here in Florida if the tenant’s use of the bag damages the floor, then the repair costs may be able to be claimed from their security deposit.

., you may consider conditionally approving with a higher security deposit (or alternatively, use an insurance policy - "fee in lieu of deposit"), first and last month's rent.

a) You will need to file a nonresident Arizona income tax return that reflects the income you earn from your Arizona rental.b) You will not owe TPT and don't need to set up an account to deposit it.

Deegan and @Arda Bircan There are technically 7 Tests for Material Participation (but 3 that are most common) -> the individual 500 hour mark, that the activity of the individual is substantially all, and that the individual participates more than 100 hours + no-one else spends more time than them.Litmus Test: Are your hours integral to the operationsThe hours that qualify must be substantially all hours and have a legitimate impact on the rental activities.Activities that generally count: showing the property for rent, taking tenant applications & screening tenants, preparing & negotiating leases, cleaning & preparing the units for rent, repairs, and improvements, managing the construction, purchasing supplies & materials, inspecting the property, responding to tenant complaints & inquiries, collecting & depositing rents, evicting tenants, writing & placing advertisements, and working on your websiteActivities that don't count: education & research, investor-type activities, and travel time..

If the company is hesitant, consider their financial statements to assess their stability or negotiate other security measures like a larger security deposit.
