She has a boyfriend who comes over every day with his small dog and I haven't said anything about that.My concerns are primarily about my hardwood floors and the noise disturbance with barking and other large dog related issues for my airbnb guests downstairs - that could cost me in ratings and then bookings.

"I thought" I could sneak in there ,remove faucets and sneak out by not disturbing mold.

With inherited tenants, it gets even tougher, as you will most likely not get to disturb them or even meet them prior to sale.Information is key on anything and everything -- try to find out their name, maybe see if they have a social media.

@Eric Oszczypala You are probably okay in '82 but given how dangerous disturbed asbestos can be I know I'd test it if I were doing the work.

I find that disturbing the status quo initiates a shopping experience for the tenant, so be prepared for some turnover if you want annual extensions and rent increases.

I'll be checking police reports in the area where they used to live (just learned to do so with the section 8 tenants) for disturbances and violet behavior in addition to the regular screening.I hope that helps in answering your question.Marina

The guest's motive is unclear, however, his behavior is extremely offensive, harassing and utterly disturbing for the homeowner.

If the old guy shows up at your door, just keep it shut and call the police and your property manager if he disturbs your peaceful enjoyment.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, you may not be the right person for this

This will also give me the chance to try and get most of the work done to the other side of the duplex without disturbing a tenant.
