@Connor RileyI've been watching TV court cases, plenty of them involving tenants leaving with damages.

If she's only paid a deposit, and you claim Abandonment, you can repossess and change the locks without a court order.

@Marcele Johnson - In Chicago we have a strict ordinance in regards to SD's - a lot of landlords don't want to risk it and take move in fees like @Carmichael Lewis mentioned, but the move in fee cannot be more than half of rent otherwise the courts treat it as a SD and you will get fined for not following the rules of taking a SD.  

The court first noted that a taxpayer may establish hours of participation in a real property trade or business by any reasonable means. 

What if she moves out before the court rules? 

As with any investment is good to diversify especially if you work a job and they match 401K plan some REITS return over 10% without fixing toliets or going to eviction court 

A properly served notice is what is required 100% of the time for the courts.

In their minds they thought that was fair, not matter what logic we discussed.Ultimately, the eviction judges can do whatever they want in their courts, because the cost to hire an attorney to appeal their decision usually starts with $2500-5000 retainer fee.

When the court is open, I am there daily, and I help investors purchase properties there.

@Lynnette E. you could go to the County website where the case was adjudicated and often you can look at the court records and see what the charges were and what the outcome was.
