Rent is a market-reasonable $1995/mo and it's been vacant for just 1 month (due to breached lease) out of the last 8 years and 5 tenants.

The lease for the tenants who live in the top unit is over at the end of September and I am currently in the process of finding new tenants for the top unit.I have one potential new tenant (PNT) who is local and requesting to see the unit in person and a second PNT who is working in Seattle for the summer.

What is the best way to remove a person from a lease?

I have a tenant who can be erratic & make poor decisions that have effected my condo community and pissed off the HOA, neighbors & me to no end, so I've chosen not to renew his lease.

Adjustments to leases, amenities provided, payment structure?

Always include in your lease that tenants are not permitted to alter the unit in any way and when you are reviewing your lease with new tenants always highlight this clause.

I have a rental property that I could move back into once the lease expires in Oct. 2019.

We were provided with one lease and were told the other tenant currently had no lease and was month to month.The house was under contract at the end of May. 1 Tenant left at the end of June and was replaced (without my realtor nor I knowing) and a new tenant had moved in on July 1.

My mortgage lender (not a bank) has used every property I’ve bought as income immediately following purchase when I send them the lease and proof of security deposit.
