He is an electrician and lost money that had a big impact on his life, set his family back a few years financially, prevented them from being able to buy the house they wanted to for themselves to live in, caused a lot of stress in their relationship etc.

I think it’s reasonable for tenant to pay deductible if it really was their fault, if that’s allowed by your policy, but seems weird to me that you could expect tenant to know hanging a picture in that one spot would cause a leak.

My understanding is that you cannot get a tenant out "just cause" you want to move into it.

However, my timeline is flexible, so I could end up staying for a shorter or longer period depending on future plans.In my research, I’ve noticed that many condos in Buckhead come with renter restrictions, which is causing me to reconsider this approach.
