And only if rent was collected that month, and a bonus at end of year if there were no late payments, etc.. 

You need to hand hold and have tenant involved in credit counselling etc. to insure they can close at end of lease.

We have a tenant who has been renting from us for almost 3 years (will be 3 at end of her lease in July).

.$500$100k Heloc, 6%.................interest due end of month 1           $500With a $10k heloc payment to mtg, no money out of pocket to pay down heloc balance:Same 30year mtg 6%, balance now $90k...........interest due at end of month $450Heloc. $10k balance, 6%.......................................interest due at end of month  $ 50                                   TOTAL INTEREST DUE THAT MONTH.....Wait For It............$500Assuming you have the Same interest rate for both the mtg and the heloc, simply transferring the balance does Nothing At All.  

But, for now, you're probably going to have to kick them out for something else or just wait to kick them out at end of lease.Sorry you're dealing with this.

Don't forget you can raise the rent at end of lease or upon renewal ...

Personally I'd leave it as is because I know people that hate cleaning tubs and have removed them @Angela Henderson.Have a tendency though to  leave things as they are (frugal-cheap type).You can try it and if can't rent then do something.

I have a tendency to try and help people which is why I had (in one particular instance) grandma cosign and also required a double deposit.

Here you'll have to pay the gas yourself, unless you want to invest in sub metering, which you could do if the WH/boiler are at end of life. 

The prop mgmt company weren't the best communicators, but they were serviceable.Now the problem:- In May 2016, I decide I want to sell the house and have the prop mgmt company give a notice of non-renewal to the tenants (lease was up June 30, 2016)- Tenants move out at end of June.
