The waiver is only good for damages not lack of notice or not showing up.

Here are some options:Demand Payment in Full for Damages: Ask your property manager to send a formal demand for the $5K in damages.

Hi I recently won a Small Claims Judgment against my former tenant who damaged the property and failed to pay rent.Does anyone have a recommendation for a good Small Claims Judgment Collection agency/firm that can help me collect?

Would be useful as a landlord when the tenant moves in/out to reference for damage. 

For tax purposes, it's considered a reimbursement for property damage.

Here's how we screen:A bad tenant can lead to thousands of dollars of losses via unpaid rents, legal fees and property damages.

Ask the judge what criteria you have not fulfilled and if all is satisfied ask on record to have the eviction executed immediately and perhaps throw in a comment about failure to act providing damages.

Have you ever had a pet cause more damage than the fees you've collected?

For a flip, you'll want to get a builder's risk policy, which covers the property during renovations, including any damage from fire, vandalism, or weather while it's vacant.

You can make a new lease with that tenant proposing a rent raise anywhere from $300-500 but you have to be able to justify it (maybe the property doesn't have central AC, maybe you're planning to do some other type of updating but that can be hard when they're physically living there still if its a bathroom or kitchen) and I would also make it so that that rent increase would go up after 60 days of them signing and agreeing to that new lease.
