I have never had one in 30 years of dealing with tenants.. law suits are most likely in the real estate transaction itself IE misrepresentation by a buyer or seller.. or partnership disputes..REmember who your tenants are .. and also remember there is not a lawyer on the planet that would take on a case on contingency unless you were a big dog..

I disputed and they reduced back down to $312k(less than the $324k it was assessed for when I bought it).

Cali isn't known for siding with landlords when it comes to disputes.

They're simply there to enforce the eviction, and you have it documented (rather than some hand-written agreement on the side with your tenants that could easily be disputed if your tenants really wanted to).When going through an eviction, you should get to know all the steps ahead of time so that you're prepared.

Having a PM helps ensure these protocols are followed, which will save you down the line if you have a deposit dispute, etc.If you have extra time(showings and paperwork), are somewhat detail oriented(paperwork and screening) and can be stern when necessary(no/late pays), then do it yourself.

Hello Everyone,I'd love some advise on how to handle a difficult tenants request.In summary, this is a nice unit, not a slum and I maintain all my units. I am on good terms with most all my tenants as I make a point t...

I would attempt contact with them again in person and by writing a letter that clearly states the problem and asks for immediate resolution.

Specifically a corporate resolution and an operating agreement.

The last line of the letter says "you are encouraged to immediately contact code enforcement to discuss resolution."

That's billed to the owner, though, not the tenant.From what I understand, if you try to deduct a charge for your labor from a security deposit, and the tenant disputes it and takes it to court, the judge will typically disallow the charge.
