Hello, I have rented out a Single family home on Jan 1st 2024, tenant was brought in by an agent and setup lease as well.The tenant profile was not so great, but it was empty for more than 3 months and I reluctantly rented it out.Since then, tenant was paying rent, but on 5th of every month after couple of followups.Last month they pushed it to 15th asking they were hit by sickness, family emergencies and BS, I said its only one time pass and they paid it on 15th.Now August 1st is upcoming, they are requesting for a call setup to chat, not sure whats that abt, but I presume to buy time.BF and GF signed the lease, it appears things not working out well between them, only lady is  answering emails/chats/calls.

Hello Misael, I would do a thorough market research to verify that you can get the rent increase you want, you might find out that the market is oversaturated with rentals.If you are trying to raise the rent $100/mo, 1 month of vacancy ruins your rent increase for the whole year.I would list the property for lease 45 days before your tenant's lease expires, if you have your property priced right you should get some applicants before your lady moves out.

Hey @Shweta Sharma - that is a wild issue to have for a building to neglect that badly.Did they atleast compensate you for not providing habitable living conditions??

@Joe SplitrockI agree with you and do kind of wonder why the wild shift for Denver.

I got the blank stare of death from the nice lady at the office who had no idea what I was speaking about.

Also was able to reach another lady and have exchanged texts.

So, I understand the reasons for being more active.Nonetheless, your assumptions about appreciation are wildly wrong.

This is wildly untrue in Allegheny County, PA, where the absolute best-built single-families went up just before the Great Depression and the shoddiest tract builds in the county went up from 1970-1990.
