I also jJust ran a report for "total rent" (w/o cleaning fees & taxes) and while the 1st QTR(Jan-Mar) trailed lower, all my Smokies properties exceeded last April's total rent except one was lower by $98. 

Just signed a lease with college students.Pro: higher rent, probably no evictionCon: dirty, messI cleaned up a house my friend rented to 4 students.

She owes $119k on it, so if she sells it to whomever has offered to buy it for $120k the mortgage will be wiped clean but so will all of her equity.

I’ve been addicted to DIY home flips for years.

I am sure plenty have tried to DIY it 

Each time, I cleaned it up immediately with Resolve.

The ducts/vents of the house were cleaned not to long ago and the tenant wont let the PM have more testing done or mitigation. 

I would under-react about the house cleaning as they will be quick to retort that they are in the process of moving - just state that it would be helpful to have the apartment "show well" so you can get this part of the process over with and both you and they can return to preparing for the transition.

If not, hire an attorney to clean up the current mess, then pass it on to a PM.

I Honestly love the passion Scott Trench has lately with calling out the BS in these posts along with others, but the real question we should ask ourselves is, how can we assist in trying to clean some of this up?
