Even with that clause, I do not typically charge the tenants unless I can prove they caused the blockage.A clear case would be they flushed a rubber duck or a tooth brush down and that lodged inside the neck of a toilet. 

Like working out at a Gym to build muscle you must leave one comfort zone for heavier weights, e.g. put down the 20# dumbbells and pick up the 25# dumbbells and then the 30# dumbbells.1031 Exchanging is no different.

I know it's not easy to stick your neck out and say, "I need the lease.

But you do not have to flex that muscle.

If I am not representing a buyer, I am still neck deep in their transaction to make sure my Seller can expect a smooth closing.  

Looks like you’re in my neck of the woods.

You bought in a bad area frankly, your going to have to muscle your way out and buy up the neighborhood and improve the region, or comes to terms with it.

That risk muscle is something that has to be built.  

So, that $250-$500 eviction fee, or whatever it is in your neck of the woods could yield pretty substantial rewards because many landlords just don't want to do it. 

Went right through the siding and CDX between the studs. 3 years (now I was 53) later I bought a 28 ft goose neck trailer again with the idea of living in it.
