Get rid of them ASAP.I'd talk to the city and ask them politely how you are to get rid of the smell from the fridge when it is filled with the tenant's food which is causing the smell. 

I did have several people come over and verify the smoke smell and we found the evidence in the trash which I sent to the guest.

Always remove the paper filter from the vacuum.It is a super stinky and nasty-smelling job and that is probably why your plumber(s) want so much money, but anything more than $1500 is far too much money.

I think you’d need 3 folks. 2 to battle it out to super high levels and the 3rd as the next highest bid. 

Today, consumers continue to face uphill battles in securing affordable housing and navigating the complexities of mortgage lending.

They insisted until he went down to the City in person, then they realized that they actually couldn't ask for SS for a water turn-on.It's crazy out there now, decide which battles you want to fight and against whom...

When you post online about "unlimited funds" the sharks smell blood in the water.I will say that running out of state flips is VERY hard.

If there was sewage in your basement, you'd smell it.

All I can say is that there are memberships that cost tens of thousands of dollars.What I tell people is find a local investor and take them to  a nice lunch for 30 bucks and see if it goes well. 30 bucks no harm no foul. 25,000 to a membership not working out possibly is a huge deal for many. 

According to the IRS (and not someone's opinion), carpet is depreciated over 5 years:https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p527.pdfLook on p9 in the box.Therefore, I would counter them at the 5 year depreciation calculation and GET IT IN WRITING as terms of the settlement so they don't come back on you.Pet smells have a way of coming back no matter how the carpet was cleaned, so I can understand the replacement.
