It is a situation where no lease exists, and you must comply with state and local law as specific to your locationIn my case I would give them a 30-day notice of rent increase and to sign a new lease.

@Viral Mehta While self-management is definitely feasible, it does come with its own set of challenges, especially when managing from an international location with significant time differences like India.You’ve outlined the major tasks well, but there are a few additional considerations:Vendor Relationships: As a property manager in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, I can confirm that having established relationships with local vendors can significantly impact both the cost and quality of maintenance services.

She was told by our local power company, PPL, that our meter base needed to be upgraded, THEN they could put her meter in (there was no meter in her unit because the previous tenant moved and it has been unoccupied for a few months).

Talk to local banks to see what they could offer you if you were to buy an investment property.

Hi @Jordan McDonaldAs a FW local I have a large investor list that I send out to my bigger pockets investors 2-3 times a week with flips or buy and hold deals that I come across on or off market.

Hi John, I recommend reaching out to a local property manager (search on Google Maps) with many 5-star reviews to see what legal action you can take before the Sheriff is available to execute the eviction.Property managers specialize in landlord-tenant law and should be able to help you determine a path forward that doesn't require waiting 3 months after the lease ends.

Additionally, getting in with a local broker helps as they can shop around for you.Umbrella insurance is pretty cheap to add on in my experience, so I think it’s worth it.
