One major one is that on a very cold winter day they set the thermometer to be lower than 40F (they didn't stay inside the house) and the pipe to the dishwasher (in the kitchen on the first floor) got broken.

Originally posted by @Dawn Anastasi:@Candice Johnson What type of communication have you had with your landlord? 

@Dawn Anastasi I have not tried rubbing walnuts in the floor.

@Dawn TIpton you could use hard money to close this deal, do the repairs and then apply for conventional lending. 

Ditto with things like adding a washing machine or dishwasher where there wasn't already one before, installing new windows as part of a major kitchen remodel that requires their reconfiguration, and so forth. 

I was told we can contest this and it will be dropped unless they can show it happened recently.We have not tried any of this yet, and just put the signs on all of our properties so we will see if it helps@Dawn Anastasi@Mehran K.

Thank you Dawn.

Agree with Dawn.  

We pay a set rate per snowfall per property.Our snow removal service comes prior to dawn to "punch" a hole into the drive/parking lot, and clear walkways, to enable tenants to get out for work.
