It was bad enough that the contractor decided against using drop cloths on the floor since it would just soak up the multiple puddles of dog pee.So I'm faced with a dilemma: do I give them a warning and have a frank conversation with them about their living conditions and possibly set up to inspect once a month to make sure it's staying fixed or do I head full steam towards evicting them? 

Even though they had a week to prepare, the home was a disaster.They had a washer/dryer (more on this later) but were apparently just throwing dirty clothes in the corner instead of washing them.

I’ve even filled in small scratches on espresso hardwood with a dark brown sharpie and a cloth to blend it quick before it dries.

I don't know what I would do if I didn't exercise every day and yoga a few times a week. 

You might need one to define it as a "bedroom" but a lot of STRs just throw two dressers in per room because it's easier for people to dump clothes into. 

I am thinking/hoping that it is just because she has some friends that smoke and the smell is being carried in on their clothes.

The discount retailers for clothing like Ross, T.J.

This was particularly difficult because although she were under medical leave, she would order food, buy weed, order clothes and take vacations--paying rent wasn't a priority--but we still had to pay the mortgage.Maybe it doesn't rank higher than someone's medical bills, but rent has to be a priority.In terms of hiring an eviction lawyer, I have a RE lawyer in my network that has recommendations but I wouldn't be opposed to calling the eviction office and asking what law firm files the most evictions.

I'm a former touring musician and for the last 8 years i've been running a private label clothing company with my brother, with retail in Brooklyn, NY and design and production all done out here in Los Angeles, all made in USA!

My tenant didn't take out his clothes from the dryer so I took them out and set them on the furnished bed I provided him.I notice a cut and small hole going into the center of the mattress that was not there on the walkthrough.
