Roy Gutierrez Boyfriend/Girlfriend breakup and rent responsability
28 February 2021 | 33 replies
I didn't rent to people who didn't respect me or value my time.And, I agree with roommates/couples you put them on the lease and then only do month to month agreements, because odds are, they will break up and you'll be dealing with this scenario.The only times I didn't include all adults on a rental agreement, I then gave written permission to the tenant to have a long-term guest, which could be revoked at any time.But, really trust your hinky hairs
Karen Martinez Is It Time To Rent?

Problem solved.What her PM did, was send their maintenance guy over there (and charged it against the account) and the PM supervised this (charged the account), maintenance guy says a new breaker box is needed and an electrician needs to come put one in, and they called one and had him put one in, (and charged against the account the electrician and new breaker box, and time for their maintenance man to supervise the electrician, and the PM to supervise them all).And they never called my daughter who would have said - "Just tell her she can't plug in 500 hair dryers at the same time."

Michael A. My Biggest Fear - Personal Liability Coverage
16 October 2023 | 11 replies
We didn't have to give her anything, but this was the worst thing that happened with a tenant supposedly injured  (although I went into her apartment right after it happened, and although she was upset, all I saw was plaster dust in her hair LOL) but I think she was hoping for a settlement, so went to the doctor's, but she never pursued any legal action) - and that was the total it cost the owner.Another tenant had a shower back up that overflowed the bathroom and caused her carpet in her studio/bedroom to be wet and she had to vacate overnight.

You can require ALL tenants to exercise responsible animal ownership, protect the property, minimize chance of harm to other people, and maintain acceptable noise levels that do not interfere with neighbors' enjoyment of their own property.A well-written animal clause will require the tenant to:Provide proof of current shots, if applicableProvide proof of flea control medication, if applicableDisclose the name and contact information of the veterinarian caring for the animal, if applicable (hamsters, for example, probably do not have veterinarians)Keep dogs in a crate or on a leash at all times when outside the dwellingUse a pooper-scooper, whether on the leased premises or another's propertyVary locations of dog urination, so as not to burn shrubs or lawnEmpty cat litter boxes daily into outside receptaclesControl  excessive barking that disturbs the neighborsAllow monthly inspections for pet damageImmediately clean any pet discharges and immediately report any damageAssist with Twice monthly HVAC filter changes for long-haired animalsKeep pet food supplies in pest-proof containersI think that if you approach the problem in this manner, you will be more comfortable complying with Fair Housing laws.
