Also, if you have never rented to college kids before, understand that they WILL destroy the house themselves or by others that come to parties they throw so make sure you get a fairly large security deposit because you should expect to use it all at the end of the term.

I was  on my way to meet the wife and fam at our favorite Chinese restaurant, (recording destroyed now and never rebroadcasted.

I've tossed them on Christmas Eve (I'll send you pics of the destroyed unit before you jump all over me for it LOL).

I guess my question is can this guy destroy the home before he leaves?  

I THINK you would lose if you tried to bill them for replacing the carpet unless it looks destroyed.

The rental can get destroyed. 

Since many of the public health concerns surrounding this crisis are associated with the impact of social gathering, that in effect will destroy many brick and mortar retail businesses.

The impact destroyed the fireplace chimney causing structural damage in the basement.

I agree there's risk of market crashing and tenant destroying, but as long as you're doing a reasonable volume of these I think the numbers would average out to the above.

I don't think we are anything special on the ownership side... and we have owned everything from mid west war zones to brand new construction  rentals.. the only issues we have had with tenants is  NON paying of rent.. so UD in Oregon... eviction process in other states.. and haggles over security deposits.. and chasing tenants for destroying our properties.. where this stuff becomes real though is in our new construction business.. there we have very good insurance ... 10 years worth after we are done.. and its expensive.. but if we run into the next LP claims we have millions in insurance coverage to fight those claims and pay for them..
