And if this change is indicative of renewal rates and rates going forward, Detroit is becoming much less attractive....

When your lease is over the landlord won't renew your lease. 

You're absolutely right@Bin Chen Yes, I've already been to housing court with one bad tenant, it was a nightmare, the only smart thing I did was refuse to renew the lease, this tenant is month to month, if push comes to shove I'm hoping it will make it a teenier bit easier to get her out.

Your best option may be to appease her for the moment and not renew her lease or do an inspection and note the cat pee/ vomit.

I'm looking for advice on how to approach a tenant on a non-renewal of the lease.

Hi BP Community,We’ve decided we’re not going to renew the contract with our current property manager in Virginia Beach to manage a 2/2.5 condo.

You have to honor whatever their lease states and I'd definitely make changes with the next lease renewal.

@Michael Randle with ground rent someone owns the ground (fee) and they lease the land for 99 years renewable in perpetuity.

As that free month the other building is offering only applies to the first year, once they renew, they'll have to pay the higher rent or move, and a lot of renters hate moving.

Maybe that 7.3% return will really turn out to be more like 15%)Also, how do you broach this issue when leases renew?
