The owners supplemented us at the closing for the discounted rent.I would like to raise their rent to 980 because I feel like 1 full time adult, three part time children, and another dog (two black labs in a 1200 sq. foot apt) will definitely add to the wear and tear.

I bring my yellow lab with me as security and most of the people in the inner city think she is some kind of bear/dog hybrid and are deathly afraid of her. 

I have a customer who owns a lot of low income rentals , he accepted 6 months up front only to find the remnants of a meth lab on the 7 th month .

Folks who are 'living better thru chemistry' end up making some peculiar life decisions.

Now you have to have a lab take air samples and test them, AND still make proper repairs by removing any affected materials, and treating exposed areas.

Are they going to setup a meth lab in your rental?

I have seen tests come in well over 100Very general range guide of meth contamination: .01ug to 3.5ug=Occasional Meth use in a home, 3.6ug to 15ug- Heavy Meth use in a home, over 15ug generally means Meth was cooked in the home (Meth lab).I would use the results to renegotiate the purchase price of the property.

We have no set thresholds in VA, I'll check out the CDCs website once I get the lab report for what mold there is in the air and at what levels.If you had to do it all over again, would you have gotten a lawyer involved earlier?

I may be the exception to this but if you find the right guy and have the right chemistry, it could be worth taking the risk.

And like any relationship, there has to be chemistry.
