Did you buy the building to run as a subsidized housing charity?

I would have a garage sale  sell what U can and give to charity in his name .. let folks have the rest for free.and send a letter to next of kin that that is what you plan to do and are doing. 

Never...if they can not afford market rent they are not a good tennat.You are either operating a business or a charity.

I get more flexibility when several empty units with few prospects What I like is a company like ABB asking hosts to open their place free to others in need at little cost to themselves... as if somehow they're being charitableReminds me of the supermarket that lets you buy product and then put it into charity Baskets at checkout.

They came back trying to change your mind Look you're running a business not a charity I feel for people who need to move into a home maybe they're lease is up maybe a lot of things life happens.

I use the Honeywell 9000 series WiFi thermostats to remotely change temperature settings.I would look up houses on Homeaway.Com that have bookings in the slow hot period and see what amenities they have that are attracting people and see if you could incorporate any of these into your property.Maybe you could also donate a summer week to a charity and use that as a tax deduction?

I use BP as a sort of charity give back....

Bearing that in mind, I'd terminate their lease and find a nice spinster that quilts for charity to fill the unit.The more rentals you've had experience with, the greater the odds that you'll run into some sort of problem like this, its just a matter of time.

if you won't wan to t do that call a charity and have them pick it up for free.

They once offered up the basement for furniture storage for a charity drive... and also used the washing machine to wash about 20 loads of clothing they were going to donate.
