Have the keep man keep the lockbox (evidence for later, if needed) and have the keyman install a new lock and key to keep JS out of my property?  

3.) do I have enough evidence/case to stand on if tenants decide to file legal security deposit lawsuit?

Those infrequent times are usually pretty evident because the comps you can find yourself justify the higher price.  

Your whole argument is based on substandard housing being inferior to no housing, yet you only provide evidence supporting your position.

Dan Wickland the mindset of your masseuse is incredibly off base and is probably based on no real evidence besides what he reads in the news or sees on tv.

Yes you can track things through reimbursement and write checks between entities, then produce that as evidence of separation.

That is 6 months of lost income, and not many can afford that.The craziness is even more evident when you see the actual materials cost of repair is around $50, by the way.

I agree with @Jonathan Avellaneda that there should be some evidence before they decide to do some kind of experiment.

On top of that we have less chances to get new tenants because of the mess situation.My Questions: -(Please note most of the communications we have had with tenants are documented in writing and can be used as an evidence)I would like to know if we did something incorrect and you suggest improving next time.

Turbo Tax evidently didn’t understand the instructions either because I can not find where it is used.
