You need to also take care of the following. 1.Fixing up a vacant rental so it can be rented out again.a.We had handy men to do most of this, but with 40 rentals my husband and I had to pitch in a do the labor ourselves as well.b.I would paint the house and garages.c.Husband would fix the repairs inside2.I would take care of the tenants.This entaileda.Taking care of advertising the homes (usually we had more than one vacancy at a time)b.Taking phone calls and screening tenantsc.Scheduling open housesd.Staging the housee.Interviewing the applicantsf.Making sure I double checked their application formsi.Criteriaii.Employersiii.Verifying funds and income3.Typing up the lease and making sure they understood the lease4.Then making sure the Tenants abided by the lease agreement5.Paid their rent on time6.And sent that Notice to Quit for Non Payment of Rent the very first day rent is late.On top of that I did my own evictions and I never lost a case and I dealt with the 36th District Court in Detroit.I won because I covered my butt by having everything in writing.I documented everything.Every phone call I made to them and every phone call they made to me.I never complained to a tenant because they called regarding a repair.I listened when they told me they couldn’t pay their rent, but even though I understood their problem, I made them pay their rent anyway.Landlording is about making tough decision and doing things you don’t like to have to do.Landlording is a Business.You have to not LOVE YOUR HOUSE.I can’t stress this enough.If you don’t know or understand that this is a business of evictions, damages, and injustices, and fixing this house up over and over again, you aren’t going to be happy let alone successful.How I wish I could be there for every new investor to help them understand what it’s like to be a landlord BEFORE YOU INVEST.But I can’t and that’s really a shame because it something every new investor should dig into before they invest.One last thing.

Ed S. it's a shame that the carpets were ruined in this manner, poor kid made a mistake.

It's a shame that it took you so long to get the criminals out.  

This must be taking a toll to on yours and her relationship.This is why I never, ever do business with family or friends.When things go downhill, now you have to deal with seeing them at company holiday dinners, ugghhhh.I am not familiar with the NY landlord-tenant laws but know that, should this be processed as an eviction, what you are doing currently whether or not it shows up in court is not right and legally could work against you.Trust me, I really do empathize with you and your situation and it seems like this Brother in Law is really taking advantage of you, but don’t correct this wrong with another.Follow the legal process to get him out, talk to your wife to see if she can intervene at all, but it seems he may not listen to her either and just does not care.So my laughter is because I cannot for the life of me see how someone can think that this kind of behavior is right to do to anyone, leave alone your family.This man/boy should be ashamed of himself for putting you and your wife/his sister through this mess.After this, I suggest you be very careful about inviting family over for those extended stays that never seem to end. 

It is a shame that the city is looking to stifle vacation rentals - tourism is an essential part of the economics and culture of South Lake Tahoe...

This company is a sham and full of scam artists.

You have your ways, and that doesn't mean that anyone that doesn't do it your way is wrong or should be ashamed of how they run their business.

It really is a shame because it was a perfect fit for our tenants and created major convenience as far as receipts and processing went.

It's a shame for those that have to walk away from there property.

It is a shame the owner didn't step in 6-7 months before because he had a negative $3800 a month.
