Open dialogue within the partnership is essential.

That is definitely where we need more dialogue. 

@Rema W.Have an open and honest dialogue about how this is going to play outMake sure your tenant understands what the rules say and how they workDescribe in detail what happens when the requirements of the law are not metDo not let the tenant control any aspect of this scenario- especially if they have a record of late paymentsBe fair but firm

Don't start letting tenants control the dialogue from the start.

Now there are a few situations where a price increase could be justified, But open dialogue should be included in such a situation as well IMO.P.S  My title should  read… How do you handle a non-agreed-upon Price bump.

These forums are to create dialogue and hopefully learn.

I'm going to try and steer you back to productive dialogue here.Your posts come with some assumptions that some of us are confused by since they seem rather unusual for building mechanicals, so let's see if we can clarify some things.  

Are there ways you have seen used or used yourself that have been successful in establishing rapport and creating a dialogue to get to a deal discussion?

Another great option in Tampa is to find a house with an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) or MIL suite you can live in while renting out the main house to cover your mortgage.Feel free to reach out if you ever want to discuss options or just dialogue about strategy that fits your unique situation.- Alton

@Vijaianand Thirunageswaram and @Chris Hopper I appreciate both of your thoughts and dialogue!
