Marcus,VERY GOOD advise.

I've brought this issue up with my PMs and they tell me that even if the tenants conduct contributed to the problem, if you want to run higher end rentals with desirable long-term tenants it's advisable to let the charge fall back on the landlord.We just look at it as part of creating goodwill with good tenants, which I've concluded myself is long-term the best approach.

Advise having anelectrician check the panel, and make any necessary repairs.

@Chelsea Jeffers a smart attorney can advise you from anywhere.

"go for it" is an ill advised answer.

I know Jacksonville FL has been very popular on BP for the last several years.Inventory has been crazy low even in the middle of a drawn out pandemic.However,the low inventory didn't truly hit home until I had a few vacancies this month and asked my agent to list them.As is customary,I went on Zillow ,typed in my zip code and adjusted the filter for number of beds/baths and the desired rent amount.To my amazement,in my entire zip code,only one other unit was on the market for rent in my price range <$1000.Then the agent sent me "rental comps" the next morning in order to advise on a reasonable list price.It turned out 4 out of 5 units on his comps list were my recently rented units as well.At that point,it was clear we were our own competition.Nobody is selling.Whatever is coming up for rent is being snapped up in record time.The following week,a duplex came up for sale on MLS at the beach for $369,000.My notifications alerted me and I thought that was a fair price since I could probably get $1700 in rent for each unit with minor cosmetic upgrades.I checked "days on zillow"....8 hours!

@Sam Abe I do not know if it is legally binding to address the mold issue because I live in another state on the east coast, but my advise is not to neglect the mold issue.
