I negotiated with the exterminator to include standard spraying of the exterior for pest as well as the bed bug treatment for the entire complex.I also advised my tenants roommate on throwing his mattress out since these bugs were isolated to his room.I have not had a problem since.

I had a previous tenant with a dog destroy everything in the home and I had to replace all the furniture, queen sleeper, mattress, bedding, linens, area rugs, flooring, so I am really leery about renting to people with pets now.

(How that's going to affect everyone's taxes is another question for another professional... especially in the Brave New World that just passed Congress. )  Otherwise, you've got $170K in a mattress or tied up in some investment that you can use, or you've got enough clout that some or all of that money can be lent to you as an unsecured loan... 

A lot of trash sitting in tall grass (mattresses, bottles, etc) that has been a pain to get out and mow the yards.Started staying on the property after rehabbing a house partially to make it a little nicer.

Cash under the mattress.

I do recommend buying new mattresses.

He brought in a mattress and has been sleeping on the floor of the property for the last week.

Cash in hand, the bank, and under my mattress.

We pulled through, but we're never going through that kind of stretch again.Just want to be another voice here telling you we've had to go to the mattresses, too, and we get it.

I need to get this part down before I go to the mattresses!
