She hasn't been late since I took it over (4 months ago), but I have had to key her into the late fee of $50 to get her to pay on time the first month.She does teaching stuff, so it's presumable that she'll be on time next month when school starts.  

This presumes they have pets and gives then the sense that pets are ok so no reason to lie.

It's more than simply avoiding the possibility of expenses due to  weather or vandalism.Once a property is retrofitted and brought into service, they typically command above market rent, while providing the client/tenant with above market value.Alas, I presume we shall continue to look at the glass from differing perspectives.

Presuming your unit is priced fairly now I wouldn't even consider this deal unless the rent was higher.

Whether they want to store the old one and pay for the re -hookup, or just leave their (presumably) nicer washer/dryer there when they leave and get rid of the old ones now so they have room in their garage, I’d leave up to them.

You're renting (presumably) in a rural vacation location in the middle of the Appalachains, I'm renting in Oakland in the heart of the city.

All this while she was looking for a place and presumably putting on better demeanour for a prospective landlord.She said the unit did not have sufficient storage for her needs and left.

I’ve already gotten 3 messages to view the unit in only a few hours so people are still looking and moving during the pandemic, but my largest and most expensive unit has been sitting vacant longer than it presumably would have, pandemic or not. 

If they have a lawyer however, then presumably their lawyer sees something in it willing to take his/her time.

It could also be that her velocity of burn in attacking the maintenance backlog is exceeding the rate of cash flow ... and the property has not accumulated the necessary reserves {presumable due to the mentioned mismanagement}.
