One is the order of possession and the other is an award for the monetary damage.

Small Claims Court is also good, pro is you get an enforceable judgement so if anything is unclear such as damages amount that will be determined, cons are time and expense involved and once you win the big challenge is enforcing the order.  

Once they move in, it becomes the damage deposit.

Hello BP community,I have given termination of lease to end this month to a Sec 8 tenant who violated the lease with subleasing, damage, and failure to cure and repair damages est. $35,000.

When I buy properties personally my negotiation tactic is to look like a sure thing to the seller and to have a reputation as a real investor who has the Capital and will close. 

The kids can wreak havoc in a unit so more damage than the avg market-rate tenant. 

We’re fine with them flushing toilet paper, of course, but tampons/shop wipes, etc. was not meant to be flushed and can damage our septic system according to the plumber.How would you handle this?

Reputation is important (not only in terms of good build quality, because the quality of the houses builders built is heavily depend on the quality of the superintendent they had overseeing the project and the quality of subcontractors they used).

It’s not a profit center for them and they have a reputation to maintain.

Were very hesitant to rent it out to such a large party because we did such a great job updating the home and we feel that all that work may get damaged in a short period of time.
