(Ended up eating about 6o days of no paid rent so really not that bad after the security deposit.)

[to receive certified deposit  list an estimated/ deductions  for them ]  but wanted to know. 

Some landlords would either request a double security deposit (if allowed in your state) or jack up the rent to take someone with a history of past court judgments...as well as providing only a month to month lease to be able to get her out quicker than an eviction should she go back to her previous habits.

If you accept it be sure to put it in your escrow account with your deposits and only take rent out each month as it is due. 

Operating expenses include (but are not limited to): taxes, insurance, management, maintenance, entity maintenance, advertising, utilities (at least during vacancies), legal fees, damage done by tenants (over the security deposit), vacancies, setouts, lawsuits, and capital expenses (not technically an operating expense).Stated another way, the 50% rule, which is generally considered to be fairly close to actual expenses, states that …50% of your gross rents will be taken up by expenses, such as property tax insurance vacancy property management maintenance capital repairs legals and accounting.From the remaining 50% you service your debt, if any, and the remaining is your profit.

Hey that’s the special cookie recipe you need to make, and then your golden, I have similar issues, prices now are like a slot machine or like an auction, they are all complaining about supply and demand, I wonder if my contractors hire Chinese people and these people are stuck on a boat in Cali because all of the truck drivers are on strike?????

Also, should I require additional deposit from the new roommate?

Use your company EIN on the w-9, this will allow the title co to cut the check in your llc name and allow you to deposit into your business checking acct. 

Hopefully the security deposit covered most of the damage (at least it’s a pretty cheap make ready. that’s really not a lot more than a simple repaint or recarpet  could run.) it’s mostly the missed rent and vacancy that’s a real killer. 

Earnest deposit and then 30 days for the balance?
