If you chose to go another route, however and proceed with an attempt to evict or otherwise claim that my client owes you anything after she pays September rent, I am happy to take this case before a judge.

I haven't done a flip in the Bay Area or out of state (attempted offers but they didn't work out OOS).

I did attempt this in 3 of my units, and all have failed despite the original premise being no problem.

That, to me, sounds like an attempt to get small monies to fund other things, but will not enhance the other parts of your business.

We are attempting to get the issue resolved ASAP.

You can also attempt some sort of bill back like RUBs but that can get complicated quickly. 

I have a lot and i have one that pops up everyday LOL.Goodluck to you and your future real estate investing endeavors!

I've been telling people for years that successful real estate investing is a Highly Entrepreneurial Endeavor. 

I'll be going back to busting your balls and attempting to take away any shred of market share you have worked yourself into up in my neck of the woods. 

I saw many of these blog posts in 2005-2008 where people attempted to really leverage.
