Your income from a flip should not cause your long term rentals to be taxed as ordinary.

I've only seen loss of rental income pay out after a covered cause of loss (fire, water damage, sewer backup, etc.) triggered a loss in rental income for the investor.  

He has been calling 311 for inspection and having violations reported for damage he has caused due to neglect and malicious intent for the past year.

Side deals like this story are tough to enforce especially cause you can't call section 8 on them and per your contract with section 8 you are getting paid the contract amount so u can't evict them. 

A few weeks ago, her washer and dryer hose burst causing a massive water leak.

They also cause a lot more moisture in the air, fogging up the mirrors a lot faster, which is annoying to live with.  

Typically, in this situation, I advise my property management clients (in Florida) to terminate the month-to-month tenancy of a tenant who is causing problems like this and to place a better tenant in the unit.As for the tenant who is requesting to get out of their lease, of course, you do not have to release them from a lease term on that basis, but look to your lease and state laws regarding their ability to terminate the lease (whether a lease term or month-to-month).

They are fully responsible for cleaning up after their pet, covering any damage caused, maintaining up-to-date vaccinations, and being liable for any harm caused to people or animals.

I can still try to explain the PAL rules set by the IRS to the current CPA and request to change the tax return before filing...From your note, I’m guessing a lot of damage was caused by Tropical Storm Beta.
