We say let us know by (about a week later) to give them time to find a new place and then let them know if they decide not to move and the activities continue, we'll share our observations with the local police department and encourage the neighbors to phone in police complaints as well.We've now done this twice and both times the drug dealers moved, left our place reasonably clean, and expressed appreciation for the prompt deposit return.

Tenant C has expressed fear at the thought of Tenant A/B taking "recourse" on her. 

@Heather Johnston As COO of Rent to Retirement, I want to thank you for expressing interest in what we do!

Hey BP-ers,I tend to have tenants express concerns over the property Tax portion of my lease. 

As I shared with @David Dachtera, I certainly could have expressed more clearly my intended query. 

There is a $35.00 Non refundable background check that the applicant needs to pay to smartmove.Look at the ID of the person when they get to the property,.......and make sure it matches the person.....A quick tip on showing......and setting rental prices.......Do a "soft advertisement on Craigslist with all the info.....but without the actual address.....just the name of the street.....see if you get lots of responses quickly.......if you do......that means you need to take the ad down for a couple days and then re advertise it at a higher price..............I advertise on CL and when the phone rings.....Do NOT ANSWER.............let people leave voicemail .....you want to see if when they leave a message they sound like someone that you may feel comfortable talking with on a daily basis......And DO NOT DO OPEN HOUSES..............What you need to do is when the first person you talk to that you get a good vibe with expresses an interest in seeing the house......you tell them I'm showing it Saturday at 10am and Sunday at 3pm...........then be quiet.....they will pick a time.......and you repeat that process with everyone that calls and make sure it at or around the same time slot as everyone else.....Don't tell them other people will be there also......When they do show up and they see other people there also.....it creates more of a demand for the room :-)   Also...pick a time that is withinn 24 hours of talkin with the person....if you talk with them Monday afternoon....tell them you are showing it tonight at 7 and tommorow at 6.        

Many of us experienced folks on the forums the last couple years have been expressing concern about people being overleveraged and for strategies like the BRRRR method.

Instead, use this as an opportunity to fight the narrative in Portland that landlords are the devil and show empathy, express understanding, and make sure she has what she needs to weather the coming weeks.

You are not required to be the charity to the world, if you can't afford to, and without your express intent to become so.So, as someone who believes in treating people fairly, including myself, it's my opinion that it's okay for you to not take on this tenant's problems in any way. 

I don’t have the real estate investor skins in the wall yet, so I’ll be more measured in expressing my theories.
