If I don't get these, it just gives me a few more months to get my financing ducks in a row and clean a few blips on my credit report (that's keeping me from getting the primo interest rates).

I thought that is too harsh and have modified my lease to allow three day period.

I was reading an article and there were some hypothetical situations and one of the things ended up being a pretty clean cash offer at ~$200K for a rehabbed house.What I could not get past is that I just can't imagine that this comes up very much

I also usually bring a lawnmower, contractor bags, a trailer, basic tools, and cleaning supplies to clean up the mess if they are already gone and have been gone several days.

No dwellings.Fourth lot is a strip next to existing driveway, presumably to widen the access (flag lot and shared easement).Cost to clear the junk: $10k.Possible squatter living in a fifth wheel on property.The three daughters live out of town and don't want to have to clean out all the junk.

If they are a great tenant (i.e keep the place clean and no problems except money) you might want to consider keeping the tenant and create a payment plan for the missed month.Could ask for a minimum/partial payment partial payment for December and then spread the amount owing across the remainder of the lease....benefit here is that you can ask for a higher minimum payment the next month since the rent will be slightly higher.

I'm just keeping the place in clean working order.

He can see an attorney, better later than never, to make sure he's out clean.

Who didnt clean the dishes?

Maintenance costs are high due to harsh environment, as well as wear and tear on the property from vacationers (as opposed to long term tenant).
