Needless to say I had to tear the whole kitchen ceiling out to get to the leak.

(the LL provided a push mower and riding mower for us to use) I would think this would fall under normal wear and tear just like a dishwasher or refrigerator these are the only deductions (except for 1 rent dispute amount), all having to do with the lawn, absolutely none for the apartment itself.

He's going to be dissappointed when he sees the amount of wear and tear.

If Jiffy Lube moves out, you are either going to get a Grease Money (or some local company) to move in, or you're going to tear it down and build something else.

Went from 1960's to modern without tearing out one item, and it appeared ALL completely had been replaced quality wise.

If nothing is done by March 28 the city will tear it down, leaving the note holder with nothing but a vacant lot.

However if you were renting it, you probably wouldn't put 10 into it, as it would be a waste considering the wear and tear of tenants.

If you want money, you must come up with a very solid business plan, where investors can double check your figures.When you start a new business, you are supposed to put some of your own blood sweat, and tears into it.

I need help asap before they tear this thing down.

I have quad 4 unit buildings that are town homes.What I have found is it is much better to put all tile on the main floor instead of carpet or vinyl.Upstairs with the carpet it doesn't get worn down as much as the main level.When you evict a tenant with tile it is mop and go and not fixing tears in vinyl or carpet that can't be salvaged.The dirty carpets tend to attract bug problems as well.You can find tile cheap and buy a big area rug to warm it up for cheap.The key with tile is the contractors can kill you on the install fee.You have to find a contractor hungry for money.I can get tile 12 X 12 for 56 cents a sq ft.Main level I would spend about 229.60 in tiles,another 150.00 in mix for bonding and grout for finish and just put back old finish trim down and repaint.Can get a hungry contractor for 75.00 a day to tile day one and finish grout 75.00 day two.Total cost 529.60 for main level.I have 1,178 sq ft with 2 story but I leave carpet upstairs and on the stairs and tile the main.Don't pay high prices.Be patient and turn over rocks to find the great deals.
