And depending on the law or the judge, you could end up paying a penalty if you deal with the tenant or handle the deposit return in bad faith.I think you should follow the security deposit law for PA, charge her for one day's rent and for hauling junk away and cleaning, get receipts for it all, and send her the difference, if there is any, and send it on time.

Usually related to the car in the driveway, and any other toys...I recently looked at a house that cost just $40,000, with a renter in place.

The trick is finding a good deal that you can afford to hold for the long haul as it is a hot market.

She could be some nut job and decide to dig in for the long haul.

If that logic is true, then I guess that means that if the tenant has any other crazy thing in the home, I'm liable if one of their buddies injures themselves on that too.I'm not saying that isn't possible, but I am questioning how our legal system allows that kind of silliness to go on.A landlord should not be liable for any toy some tenant's friend hurts themselves on.

So, if you think $20/hour is fair, you can reasonably ask for another 3 hours or so of his time for yardwork, hauling garbage cans to the curb, etc.Anyway, just a thought.

Folks lived off of unemployment as long as they could, they sold off all their toys like 4 wheelers, campers, guns, snowmobiles, etc. 

If this tenant gets in, they will more than likely be there for the long haul, because who else is going to rent them a place with a large animal?

The property had to pay a person every week go out and pick up chicken bones,poop, and demolished toys.

Our guests are required to haul their own trash.
