Any rent increase will be offset by the damages they cause to the property.Figure out how to end their lease and replace them with a good renter.

You can also structure the lease so that it comes to an end in spring/summer months when units tend to fill quicker and rents are up but I always make them more than 12 month leases. 

Maybe add into your lease that the carpet needs to be steam cleaned when they move out (they need to provide a receipt for the rental of the machine or from the cleaning service). 

I do have some good news and that is someone put a down payment and is signing the lease on Nov. 5th.

My family has an agricultural exemption on some acreage and we lease it to people who run 3 cows on it to maintain the exemption.

We would buy the land outright and then through our local bank connection that we've done deals with in the past have them help fund the build out with interest only until with hit a certain lease up %.

We have a pretty solid lease that has served us well on our properties but on the most recent move-out by a long-term tenant that always paid early, we had to clean from floor to ceiling and everything in between. 

Needing to track everything from rentals, scheduling, leases, accounting and marketing - it was a big Ask!

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases.

Current lease agreement says tenants will cover utilities.
