Tired or lazy landlords have a tendency to let properties fall into disrepair.

Refinance, new investment and sell primary: Refinance primary to get ~$50k out, find a separate cheap investment property that can cash flow (aim for under $250k purchase price so we can put 25% down), and then sell the primary at end of next year to get remaining equity out to use as a down payment for a new primary (assuming it will be about $80-$100k net with expected increase in value due to being in a hot neighborhood and purchase price of ~$500k, know it's less than 20% down)Considerations: I am expecting the next primary to be a place where we spend 4-5 years max (expecting significant increase in career based income after initial partnership buy in).

So on Jan 15, I spoke to the tenant about who to include in the lease when the tenant said that she was leaving at end of January in 15/16 days.So my question is what are my rights?
