Happy to flush through a lot of these preliminary considerations if you'd like to chat!

I had a property manager who took a bad check and never even informed me until 2 months later after the fact of this problem with tenants who subsequently created an nusaince deliberately flushing rags and excess tampons down the drain, complaining about mold, refusing to let in the plummer, threatening my manager etc...

Its gotta be hard, all that pops in my mind are the problems: My Heat/Air don't work, My toilet wont flush, the basement is flooding, and the way life goes, they will call you 10minutes before you start work.

so i have a section 8 tenant in one of my rentals. she is a good tenant. about a month after she moved in we had the plumbers come out and roto rooter the main line leaving the house. i didnt mind. the cause for this instance could have been anyones, not to mention it hadnt been cleaned out in a few years. no biggie. 5 months later i needed to call out the plumber again. this time the main cause of the plug was someone was flushing down those sanitary wipes, which are not biodegradable. this is purely the tenants fault obviously. bill totalled $300+. she has no way of paying this as she stated. housing authority has her locked in for 2 years from begining of the rental contract. i dont necessarily wanna give her the boot, but this is a business. my real question is: she wants me to take it out of her deposit, then she claims she will replenish the deposit once tax time comes around, around feb- march 2013. is this legal for me to do?

But in my place - the toilets flush, the faucets don't drip, the locks lock.

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.

Well, imagine the sewer main has a partial blockage, and imagine there is a lot of pipe (and thus a lot of sewage capacity) between toilet 1 and blockage in the sewer main--when you flush that toilet, it doesn't back up because there's plenty of pipe to hold the sewage (although, if you repeatedly flushed it, it might back up...and eventually, as the blockage in the sewer main gets worse in the future, it will probably eventually start backing up)...on the other hand, imagine that toilet 2 has minimal pipe between it and the sewer main's blockage (and thus, minimal sewage capacity), so when you flush it, the water almost immediately meets the blockage, causing that toilet to back up.I'm not saying that's necessarily what's occurring at your property--but it's an example of how a blockage could cause one toilet to back up, but not another.To determine whether the problem is indeed caused by a sewer main blockage, watch the scope video, and ask the sewer scope guy to show you where the blockage is on the video.Hopefully that helps...Good luck!

Some landlords and property owners will call you assuming they can scam you into overpaying for their property...these may be motivated sellers later on, but at the moment, they're not worth dealing with and your screening process needs to be able to flush them out.Financials Asking Price Mortgage loan balance Any 2nd mortgage on property?

All panels are connected by a strip that protruds a little bit so it is not flush to the wall.
