If you witness illegal activity, involve law enforcement.

First thing to know is it's very difficult to talk a leasing agent into it because most are too dim-witted, it's true, they will struggle to grasp the very concept of it so it's best to have it written out on a 1 page paper AND to use an example for them to pitch the property owner with because they will never let you speak with owner directly, hence the paper because there going to forget half of what you tell them and screw-up the other half, so make it uber-simple. 

In particular, income-generating real property and multifamily have historically — and as I’ve witnessed from experience as an investor and developer — shown a greater ability to grow net income during expansionary periods than securities and other assets.Owning real estate has a number of benefits during periods of high inflation.

I would just take the loss if you can’t afford to attend small claims court.I am leaning towards this..it is not always a good business decision to take the time off of work and fly somewhere and deal with the stress of going to court, printing evidence, asking witnesses to come to court, and it’s all for a lousy 1k, just to prove that I am right.i would rather get  her off of my back and focus on something that will make me money.my time is precious.don’t want to waste it fighting over 1kthank u guys all for helping me out!

I have witnessed crackheads already my two times there. 

If it were me, I would wait until after the time of their stated departure (like the morning after the stated departure) and then take a witness with me to enter the premises. 

If I've witnessed it (typically loud music/TV) I don't renew their lease. 

I am at my wit's end and think the tenant should take some responsibility.I want to replace these grills instead of spending more time restoring them and this time I am planning to deduct that cost from the tenant's deposit.

Once you witness their integrity, then you can make a decision to keep or terminate.

Follow these core 4 and you’ll get there before you know it.Don’t give up,-Bailey I am a witness.
