IT’S WHO YOU KNOW— Dress up super nice and be very humble and/or waterworks sad and call/visit the County clerk, get them on your side, then go call/visit the city mayor, city administrator (often last longer than mayors), and get them to talk to the clerk/severing person for you.

How Binghamton (and other towns like it) mishandled the situation out of desperation in NY, where taxes aren't really regulated from what I've learned, is the city/county councils or the townspeople (not sure which or if it's a combination) decided to raise taxes through the roof to try and stop the bleeding.Just for grins - well, I shouldn't say grin, as it's really sad - but for edification purposes - take a look at what you can buy in Binghamton for the money. 

Beware of the professional tenant.The sad truth of the, "Professional Tenant".Thanks so much for the response, Shadonna.

If you wouldn't be sad for them to go....and you are confident that you could rent the unit for the market price you want.....and you could afford the turnover, then let them go.Alternatively, if you know what a turnover is likely to cost you (one month lost rent, deferred maintenance, time involved in showing it and leasing it up), and a $50 per month/$600 per year discount costs you significantly less than that, then offer the discount.

The loss is minuscule to me compared to the costs I have in SF, and I see it as temporary sadly, due to their advanced age and deteriorating condition (my grandfather actually just had an ER scare yesterday, but they got him stabilized thankfully).

Sad I have to replace them :((notice the top of the smaller kitchen stack is copper.

Unfortunately most of them are just gross or sad and not that interesting.Who else has a story?

This is very common to OOS investors in expensive markets sadly .

It’s a little sad and I feel for people in that situation.

It is sad, I have been renting to my squadron mates for years now and have had zero issues because we are all bros.
