Look for warning signs like wall cracks, misaligned doors, or uneven floors, and always get an inspection from a structural engineer (not just a foundation repair company).

If they're doing anything another tenant would complain about I send them a written warning and the minute another tenant complains is when I'll double check to see if I can file eviction for that specific thing and give the tenant three days to knock it off.

I’m offering my story as a warning.

Warning: This video is GROSS.

So, go with a good solution on the deadbolt.Screw a lockbox in a wall near the door for an emergency physical key.Find a locksmith that can rekey the doors between tenants - put ALL locks on the same key.Most electronic locks warn you when the battery is getting low.

It’s always a good idea to document the conversation too, even if it’s just jotting down the details for your records.If they don’t take the warning seriously, you’ve got options.

(Tho, you’ve had time to make that reply by now, and have not, so you may not need this warning.

Quote from @Jim Crockett: Had a power couple go over to their ship despite my warning, they are young, we are not.

You can make a lot of money, but be warned, a large % of Section 8 tenants are complete savages.
