Based off our lease agreement, my lawyer says that it is the responsibility of each tenant to repair their own space.

They said they would credit for the things they didnt deliver, but took credit from the task rabbit video for items I purchased separately, never replied on the work they did not do.

In this case we would probably ask them to sign a year extension on the lease and pay for the venting.

It will be helpful if you get that lease resigned before approaching the bank.  

If $23k is just a “hope and a prayer” then he’s going to have a very hard time producing any CREDIBLE itemized bill.  

I don’t know what the rent is or how much longer he has on the lease, but $5k at a little bit extra every month would take quite awhile to make up.

3.Additional Fees: Are there other fees I should consider, such as maintenance coordination, lease renewal fees, or vacancy fees?

Also remember that we are getting to the slow months to lease up properties and it may take a while.

Soon after purchase, I started advertising the space for lease and we received overwhelming interest.

Being clear about what’s covered in the lease and by local laws can avoid misunderstandings and set their realistic expectations.If you do plan to carry out the cosmetic upgrades (because the property is overdue and of course you want to ensure your tenants are enjoying their home to the best of your abilities), try to schedule the repairs at times that minimize disruption.
