Fair point, but it’s a little disturbing that these guys can file liens without any due process

He is also able to creatively coordinate construction so as not to disturb the building's tenants.

Like any developing country, residents often do desperate things to stay alive such as robbing, killing, kidnapping, scamming, fighting with machetes in the streets etc. which doesn't often involve tourists or expats directly but can be disturbing to witness.

Many of us have deep reserves and will survive, but a seizure by any other name is still deeply disturbing.  

It's an ongoing 'liability' you don't need to accommodate.Bingo.Liability out the wazoo.More noise.More wear and tear.More traffic/parking, people walking by, noisy kids, etc. potentially disturbing other tenants.And, the most important one again... liability.If you choose to keep this tenant for some reason (you like living on the edge?)

I read this as the courts saying that tenants with disabilities cannot be charged any fees or deposits for the accommodation.I find this issue very disturbing.

So needless to say that I need the rents coming in. my problem that I have is that one of my first tenants brings his girlfriend over every night and they argue by slamming doors and disturbing my other tenants.

She has a boyfriend who comes over every day with his small dog and I haven't said anything about that.My concerns are primarily about my hardwood floors and the noise disturbance with barking and other large dog related issues for my airbnb guests downstairs - that could cost me in ratings and then bookings.

Just make sure your tenants know they are liable for any damages or disturbances he causes.

I was under the impression that anytime you disturb lead based paint, which would include ripping out drywall with lead based paint on it, that you had to have a special contractor come in that is licensed in this area to remove it and it can really destroy a budget.
