NEVER had that happen on subsidized units.Just to add one other point, at renewal inspections by the Housing Program, I have rarely ever had a property that failed due to what was clearly misuse or abuse by Tenants, and the Tenant actually reimbursed for those repairs.

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.

Everything eventually wears out, you need to practice Preventative Maintenance to prolong the life of various elements, and replace them when they have reached their particular end of life.Physical damage from misuse, or abuse, is a different subject.

I have a note in FL, borrower isn’t paying the insurance, too expensive, I guess.Borrower is very abusive and uncooperative with loan servicing … I’ve given up trying to work things out with them.

Maybe I should sit in my house, cuz I may get hit by a bus if I go outside...

If you can get whichever tenant reached out for help to work with you they may be able to testify that there is abuse or imminent danger. 

We are basically forced to continue paying for water that we are NOT utilizing if we take into account:-Water bills from nearby properties with similar characteristics are way lower-The amount of persons living in the property is two-The fact that our bills are issued prior to the actual consumption, and do not take into account factors such as weather (no need for watering the yard), time away from the property (vacation), etc.On a separate note, when we attempted to register our property on the waitlist to get a meter installation (program that is now stopped due to potential lead repercussions), the system declined our property claiming that it was not eligible, although we follow all parameters indicated – a non-metered, residential account for a single family home.We believe this is a completely unfair, abusive, and unreasonable situation, which might affect other many citizens who are stuck within the same conundrum.Any suggestions?

They take A LOT of abuse.
