The eighth month we get in a texting battle about a late payment made with a bad check.  

@Chris Seveney @Brandon Battle I appreciate your input.

During this time, she wasn't able to use or park in the garage, use the kitchen to cook ( she ate out for 3 weeks except for some microwave dishes) since there was no water in the kitchen and it smelled really bad, and there were a bunch of construction guys coming in and out, and the place was just a mess from different crews leaving junk behind after the day was over. 

I wanted to be 100% sure that no smoke smell would leak out.

He is why we moved here to Clarksville Tennessee, we came for a christmas visit, and what I saw of the Real Estate market really gave me a much needed reason to live instead of scratching to survive- we decided to sell our farm we had a bad rent to own person in- he had breached the contract in every possible way, for about 3 years, but we were busy battling in court saving our daughters from a cult they 'just knew god wanted them in', so we did not have the time money or location to fight with him- when I finally called him to tell him out- he announced, "but I sold it!"

I would prefer to not allow pets due to smells/floor damage/etc. but they've been great tenants.What recommendations does the BP community have when I transfer these tenants to my lease? 

It turned into a 2 YEAR legal battle.

I'm all for a healthy debate and/or you telling me I fouled up on the calculations.Check out the file located at https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/1049/download.

If they don't perform said duties within the 90 days, then you part ways no harm no foul.

But every house I've worked on so far had a smell.
