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.

I think institutional money and large PEs maybe one of the biggest culprits that's driving the home prices and rents all across the States higher than ever before. 

I mean I do understand if there is negligence or something like a a malfunctioning boiler which pushed temps to 120 degrees, but many places have no AC.

We are in the season where we are getting some deer hunters coming up which is good because the big employers in this town have been cutting back so there aren't as many temp workers up here, which affects our occupancy levels.

Hello, I am looking at purchasing a house hack in Tempe, AZ in the next 6 months.

Hey James the prime area for ASU Tempe is a 0.5-mile radius from the center of campus and then the next tier is a 0.5-1 miles from campus.

Melanie is spot on.I used to manage and operate vaction rental and STRs in Central Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe.

Hi Dawn, sent you a PM.Scottsdale is definitely a good place to be in if possible but there are definitely other areas you can get into for a cheaper price point in Mesa, Glendale, Tempe, etc. 

I'm surprised that Tucson ranked higher than Scottsdale/Tempe and ASU...the combination of Scottsdale as one of the country's top party towns, with the close proximity of ASU Stadium (5 miles) should put them near the top, I would think....?

Please check out this link from the AZ Court system regarding maximum temps.
