The renter of our condo in downtown Asheville gave notice due to the city being without water since they expect it to be weeks before city water is back on.

My question: I’m being told the city of Cleveland or the courts are requiring a “rental registration” before they will process the eviction.

Housing prices in two of our larger cities (Vancouver and Toronto) are also crazy high (eg $1M to buy a starter home)...actually in Vancouver proper at the moment the cheapest home (single family, not strata) is $1.2M...surprisingly (to me) in Toronto the cheapest home on the market is $650K (ignoring some listed for $1 as clearly there is a catch).Our mortgages work differently than in the US, and what we get for rates are only locked in for 1-5 years (typically) and then we have to renew at whatever the current rates are. 

At a minimum, they could have listed a 15 to 30 day vacancy gap for turnover and repairs.Chicago is FOR SURE A CHALLENGING CITY TO BE A PROPERTY MANAGER, but likely even more than other industries, you get what you pay for with a property manager.
