It's always about the behavior if other people.The great majority of people who mail poop out and stop mailing after a few months.

Yes, exactly, the logical response to unethical behavior is to help someone else do it instead.If your behavior is so faultless, why don't you go discuss it with the Real Estate commission?  

If you want to accumulate wealth you have to emulate the behavior of wealthy people.

I've built the system that powers the Tribeca Film Festival, I've worked for various well known startups and I'm the cofounder of an online behavioral health startup, iCouch.

Wow - bummer.I'm very glad that this type of behavior isn't prevalent in our area.I guess the only real solution is to visit the properties on a more regular basis.Good luck to you.

At that rent rate and that behavior of the tenant, I don't think you'll see that money.

For the most part, people are normal and responsible, but there are a few that seem to have attention-seeking behaviors or other issues.

@Ben - I'm sorry to hear the mess they made; unfortunately is not unusual for tenants to act like this (sometimes out of pure negligence and some other's out of life's circumstances - please note I'm not condoning their behavior) Steve is right; here in Texas (I'm in Austin) the landlord/property management company has 30 days in which to account - in writing - expenses due a tenant after move out.

Late fees help, but you do want to determine why the sudden change in behavior and if this will impact the coming months in order to handle it the best way. 

They can file a Chapter 13 to keep their property, then later convert to a Chapter 7, if they can't make their payments or decide they no longer want to keep the property.Their behavior indicates to me, that this is what they plan to do.
