I also had issues with tenants that came with my first purchase - another reminder of how important it is to screen before you let someone in.  

@Juan Carlos Quiroz Zolezzi thank you for the reminder!

I've been so caught up with stories of out of state investing recently so this is a great reminder to check my own area first.Also, I started kickboxing for the first time this week and didn't realize the footwork is so difficult, but man it's been fun.

@Mark Neiger, unlike @Leigh C, I am glad that you reminded us in paragraph two what can happen to "cocky" Agents!

I would remind him to clean and leave the property in similar condition as move-in for his security deposit to be returned.

When calling a FSBO I've had them mention they were on the DNC list before and I just remind them they placed an ad to sell their home and as an agent it's my job to know about all the homes in the area.

Follow-up Text Campaign Reminders 2.

Did you send written notice of the violation and a reminder that it is cause for eviction?

If the issues are not cured by the cure period that would be a time when I can hire a lawyer, and I can remind them as per the lease agreement that they would be liable for any legal fees.If I wait too long, their security deposit may end up too small to cover potential damage, especially while moving out.

You reminded me of a book/essay I read a while back called "Profit and Loss" by Ludwig von Mises.
