It's upsetting that he would lie about this, but I just turned it over to my insurance and let them handle it.

One of the tenants seems to be upset at the world and now causing numerous issues.

But if I told my landlord my pet died and I wanted a rent reduction, and then the landlord came and checks if my pet actually died, I’d be upset.

@Brian Gibbons and @Joe Villeneuve It seems that I may have upset @Jack B. when giving advice on structuring lease options and what not to do.

That is the procedure you should follow and not sure your family member even has a case for being upset.

It's not a huge deal as the rents aren't that far below market value but I'm kind of upset that I wasn't notified.

The people who regulate the Pm's license ( in Colorado it's called the Dept of regulatory agency's) get very upset when somebody misuses or abuses their realestate lic.

I was pretty upset and she told me she knew someone who could take over the lease for her.

You might not get a great "victory" but in the end you OWN and they RENT, and that says enough.As to your particular example.

She gets upset and tells me she will have to do the cleaning next week when she is off . " No , your lease is up today , You will have to wait the legal 45 days for your deposit , AND i see you painted some walls , someones crayon art work is all over the door , all the screens are missing , the grass wasnt cut , you wont be getting the full deposit back "   She then tells me that she will get most of it back , 2 gallons of paint is $50 , cutting the grass is 30 . and the screens arent her problem .
