@Andraise Scott If you can't mitigate that risk enough through tenant screening and you think a bigger financial incentive would help, maybe you could offer your tenants a bonus if they leave the house with less than $x amount of damage?

But big problem - no kitchen, serious damage, bad roofs and furnaces - are too much for an OO to handle.

All rents are up to date, I just want to be proactive about the situation, if a bigger problem is on the horizon, I would like to keep the damage to a minimum and neutralize the situation as fast as possible.Thanks in advance....Anthony Giaconia

Not really and real difference unless the L/P has a default provision with damages and that probably isn't done except in unique situations, and no, don't go there as some strategy, damages may be applicable in commercial transactions.Actually, neither one is best as each may be unique.An option doesn't tie up a property as it can be sold subject to that option.

All the window screens were damaged.My husband, in disbelief that a window washer would cause that sort of damage, assumed that maybe someone tried to break in.

Are they in a position to indemnify you for any losses, costs and damages under any warranty?

This causing around $2,500 in damage and having to be rewired back into this house.

A person can do the same amount of damage to your property in six months as they could in a year.

If you're in this for the long haul, you have to budget for that.I've had $300 service bills on a furnace that was only a few years old.Its impossible to predict when your tenant will bug out and leave you with a bunch of damage.

I have a house on 1st Avenue South, near the intersection of Oporto Madrid Boulevard which the local element has done some damage to, and yes, stolen the central HVAC unit, which is possibly why the owner is looking to sell (along with the fact that the property doesn't cash flow).
