I believe NY is the poster child...they've decided LL can bear the cost more easily and therefore will most likely prevent the spread if the tenant can simply tell the LL they need it eradicated.

mice eradication is a very helpful skill to develop.

Yes you should easily shed a good portion of it but to shed all of it will be a lot harder and needs diet and exercise (not just one)This is evident also by the latest treasury bond sales - other countries are slowing down buying our debt which means rates (especially mortgage rates (will stay higher longer).

I cleaned up my diet.

At the moment we have a tenant who is being quite difficult... communication completely eradicated.

Ramen and even cereal “diets” (how is that a thing?)

I completely empathize with your scenario and you are right this is why wholesaling is being eradicated in many metro areas. 

Fear of being in debt and taking on risk in general....can be greatly mitigated, if not completed eradicated, by having clear exit strategies planned in advance.

.; cash for keys)--but again, you need to follow your local laws on this topic...but, it's worth studying up on whether there are legal ways of getting a tenant to leave other than the full eviction process (I suggest that ALL landlords familiarize themselves with this, even if they've never had an issue with a tenant).Once the tenant is out, rehab the property (which may include a deep clean or a more in-depth remodel), bring in the pest control guys to eradicate the roach problem, and try to bring the property up to a level that will attract responsible, reliable tenants who won't cause this type of problem again.Good luck out there!

I agree with the idea of letting them stay, adding the pet deposit and socking the money away because in the end, this can be a challenge to take care of the odor.On the other hand, if the contractor is not used to cats even one dirty litter box can cause a significant ammonia odor (cats consume a very high protein diet and thus produce a high urea content urine).
