While they did so w/o your permission and are in violation of the lease what are your actual damages? 

Philly is very much block by block, especially for student rentals.

Depending on the condition, you may want to offer below market value to deal with damage. 

(SIDE NOTE: I lived there & had income using it as a room househack  at first & then a full rental after another RE purchase- just as you guys taught) Numbers & market say sell the home however, the property is literally 3 blocks from strip, to airport & UNLV-location, location, location-therefore confused on sell/don't sell. 

First on the chopping block is/was naturally cash out refinances on rental properties.But some lenders were at 4% or 5%, room to absorb what others don't have capacity to do.

Seems tenant never did and never reported any damage happening.

And then he had a chair broken, which was a $100 fix, and then he wanted to start charging everyone a $500 damage deposit. 

What today would be a single house’s front yard becomes a collective garden, a deposit of sorts into a community land trust that could one day weave through multiple blocks. 3.

It's definitely one of the cheapest on the block and would rent for roughly $1,800.

This often causes people to fall into “analysis paralysis” and never actually take any action.For me personally, my "road block" was the financing aspect of the deal.
