I've found old garages are more of a liability than a good investment in the lower rent areas unless you get lucky and get one that isn't falling over - it will cost more to bring them back to life or replace them than it will ever bring back in rent and therefore, the best choice is to remove them and spend the money on a new parking slab - obviously a property that already has that done is a plus (people use them as storage lockers too, then leave it all for you to clean when they skip out later).

What recourse is there if this is done or is there likely none and thats why you're saying just be concerned with clean title and tenant contracts? 

We just spent 10 days doing our typical "Spring upkeep"We sanded down solid wood kitchen cabinets, primed and painted them.Had a bulb burned out under the microwave.Fixed some screens on the screened back porch.Touched up some paint on the dock.Cleaned out flower beds.Steam Cleaned CarpetsFixed a bedroom door that wasn't latching properlyEtc.For those of you using a PM:Does you PM regular inspect to catch small things like a microwave light burned out?

I'm assuming next week will be pretty scarce with activity, lets all pray for a healthy April! 

He says the problem is people in the US are still doing business as normal for as long as possible, when in reality, healthy people need to stay home.

This turned into a $3,000 charge that would take me about 2.5 months of cash flow to recover from (this is also why it’s important to have a healthy cash reserve to operate from and deal with unexpected issues!

She called to say I need to get over and clean up the garage which had spiderwebs and Mice droppings.She said she needed to store some Antiques and the garage was too dirty.She then complained that she can barely afford to live in the house and needs to sell out of the garage.

The other texted me intermediately and stated she had lost her entire home cleaning clientele due to COVID-19.

As of now the MLS is showing a healthy number of properties going under contract each day so people are still buying.

What are Your thoughts of applying Last months rent or possibly Security deposit (considering a good tenant is clean and has shown respect for the property) towards present rent?
