You shouldn't use contracts unless you have express permission and know how to use it.

That's enforceable no matter if she's a holdover tenant or not.I'm just afraid that by giving her 30 days notice to move, you actually created a month to month agreement, because it would have given them permission to stay 30 days, if you understand my meaning.  

And if you don't work a deal out with them it's a permissible reason to withhold rent.I only miss the weather.

I went to the law school and asked them if I could have permission to post a flyer on a bulletin board somewhere.  

Most landlords nowadays are afraid of being sued, so all they will tell you are dates of residency, and then only if you send them a fax with a permission signed by their former tenant.I think you should just pay for a screening service, like the one we used.  

@Cindy Chan  Hopefully the lease says any modifications require your permission-a pool would fall in that category. 

ThiEnsure that any modifications for disability access they make with your permission are reversible and they agree to reverse these modifications at their expense and not leave you your property with rails and other modifications which an able bodied person will not want in their home if you need to find a new tenant in the future and ensure that all reversal of modifications are done in a professional manor and you are not left with silicone preventing windows from closing or anything else for that matter.You should have everything documented and signed by tenant or the legal carer .

And if you have a provision in your lease, you need to be prepared to enforce it or the tenant will see that as a sign of weakness and permission to violate other areas of the lease.

They have an unauthorized animal that is potentially causing damages that may cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars when they leave, and they completed renovations on the home without permission and without following the lease or the law.

It’s true that they rarely uninstall and patch and paint to as good as new, so I have to charge against their deposit as needed.The main thing is you cannot let it snowball from garage opener at your expense to new washer and dryer at your expense etc. if you end up paying for any new updates I’d suggest an agreed upon rent increase for financing the improvement so like new appliances is an extra $100/mo (with their permission and yours).
