You don't want to burn any bridges by miscommunications or not properly addressing resolution paths, buy-outs, exits, etc. in a legal manner on paper and signed by parties.

I have a year reserve for operational expenses, but concern if legal steps needed, along with potentially any damage to the property due to any disputes...the cost could go up significantly that exceed my reserve.Advice:I think I am being a bit paranoid and concern that this could be a sign of rent payment challenge in the near future...along with federal moratorium on evictions. 

I raised this issue to them, and they responded quickly apologizing for the mistake and assuring me they would credit me the difference in the next draw.While the response times have been prompt and the resolutions satisfactory, the issues I've run into with RPM are illustrating the downsides of using large property management companies.

It may vary state by state, but holding deposits (a deposit to take a rental off the market for an interested potential tenant) may potentially be tricky because regardless of what the document states and whether it is a "deposit" or "fee", the applicant may be able to dispute the amount that is not returned.In California, the amount that can be withheld must be "reasonable" and reflect the landlord's costs or losses.

Hi @Jeremy Hazelwood,Mostly all the 'credit repair' services do is dispute everything, hoping some of the creditors lost the old paperwork and can't prove that you ever owed them money to begin with.

Disputing or disagreeing with the initial terms of a sales contract to counterpart a small percentage to you (big one for the Broker and ultimately the Agent) on a RE transaction will not look good to anyone (except you, the seller). 

If you are bidding on a foreclosure sale , never communicate with the person being foreclosed on for a multiple of reasons.case and point, if a property is being foreclosed on and there is a les pending (means pending a law suit) on that same property, the smart money is not bidding one dollar and know AND if they did and also communicated with the debtor, any party disputing the foreclosure would say "conspiracy" seen this happen If there is a dispute on the probate, you will be paying lawyers  in that case.

If the tenant failed to show up for the inspection, the tenant loses the right to dispute the damage found after the inspection.

They may charge money to determine that, but it is a complex problem since the siblings are disputing it.

I understand your frustration and after reading the communication between you and our Property Manager it seemed you all were in agreement And moving toward a resolution, which is why I was stunned by this post.
