Myth: You never have to worry about getting your rent when you have section 8 tenants.Reality: rent payments can get suspended if the unit fails annual inspection, even if the items that caused it to fail are the tenants fault.Reality: the tenant portion of the rent is never guaranteed.Reality: if a tenant wants to leverage you for an upgrade, like a new stove or a new refrigerator, they can cause housing payments to get suspended by filing a complaint with their caseworker.

They are being sued by multiple neighbors for neglect (a broken refrigerator being left broken for weeks, black mold that was in apartments upon move in for new tenants, no heat or air conditioning in units for MONTHS) I suppose Home365 didn’t have an address set up for their bills either, we were actually getting their trash removal bill in our mailbox.

We had to replace our refrigerator in our rental, due to the old one breaking.

A refrigerator replacement will cost you $600 whether you are collecting $300/mo or $3,000/mo.  

They claimed the compressor was overworking, used an outdated refrigerant that’s no longer available, the indoor coil had a cracked pan, and the system was beyond repair.

Few more points:Their lease is valid till May 2025.This is the first time she even told me about mold.In the email she did ask me to settle the lease.I have a little less than a month of rent as security deposit, which I am ready to settle without any additional penalties for abandoning the property.At this point I am okay with her leaving the place, just I want to get the control of the property back to fix the mold issue.History:1) Recently the AC has been replaced and after that there was some intermittent issue with the installation (temp doesn’t reach target intermittently) and I had to call the tech back 5 times to finally get it resolved.2) Also last month I replaced electric range with Brand new Electric range.3) Two months back she said the refrigerator was leaking, I asked her to send picture of the make and mode of the refrigerator, but I never got a reply back.4) Also for last 4-5 months she has been asking me to send her 5-day notice so that she can claim reimbursement, I was sharing a document and she was paying the rent a little late.

Why would you give them free rent with they still have full access and use to the stove, refrigerator, walls, closets, flooring, roof, garage, lawn, etc.?

Modern finishes, Washer and dryer and refrigerator.3bed/2bath minimum is preferred in the Texas Market.If you can add 2 car garage, that will make it more desirable and attach more buyers.All the best

With the refrigerator, my fear is that the other tenants will see the appliance guy show up and race to get in line for their new fridge, too.Thanks in advance!

Broken blinds, refrigerator and freezer door left wide open and running.
