In this attic there were 10 vacuum cleaners, 7 TVs, 8 mattresses, 8-10 microwaves, mountains of clothes, several bowling balls, pots and pans for 10 housholds, and several tons of other junk collected from at least 20 years of tenants.

If a tenant doesn't pay the rent and won't leave voluntarily, I evict them - period.

If the agent has an "exclusive right to sell listing" then they are getting paid no matter what, unless they voluntarily cancel, which they are unlikely to do.If the agent has an "exclusive agency listing" then the seller is free to sell to a buyer that is not represented by a licensee.If you found out about the property through the agent (their sign, ad, the MLS, etc.) it would be a bit sleazy to try and cut them out of the deal, don't you think?

On a rare occasion there is a valid issue.When I was a kid I touched a hot pot on the stove.

It also appears that they are hindering any new prospective tenants to coming in voluntarily telling then the flood I had in July.Tenant1 (the mother) is flying to Asia on Nov 2 - Dec 3.

If the tenants break the lease and move out early, do I still need to get something signed by each one indicating that they have left voluntarily before I change the locks?

As leaders in your industry, I would think you'd want to set the standard, be transparent, and use some reasonable assumptions that firms would voluntarily adhere to, perhaps 5-7% for vacancies/leasing costs, 5% for maint/repairs, and 5% for capital reserves (this is actually less than the 20% that Curt states he personally uses).

Another tenant didn't pay the bill and was shut off, avoiding my having to evict her since she left voluntarily.

I had good jobs and made decent pay at it, but hated having a boss I couldn't walk away from and I REALLY hated sitting in a cube and doing meaningless work.I voluntarily left that world and entered RE at a pretty darn young age.

The all others is critical and covers everyone known or unknown to reside in the property.This way someone living in their cannot say the eviction says so and so but not me so you can't make me leave.Front and back lock sets cost me 28 dollars for the set with deadbolt and we put those on the second we finish with the writ or the tenant voluntarily hands over the keys and it is vacant without filing eviction.We do this because sometimes even if tenants leave on their own they have an extra key they don't give and then when where they move to doesn't work out or have enough storage they start putting junk back into the apartment they vacated or try to squat there one day and then another place another day.Sometimes in apartments tenants will hop from one apartment where they are evicted to staying with the unit next door that is paying.After awhile say a week or so the good deed wears off and that tenant wants the people gone from their unit.Was the power in the husbands name??
