The lawyer spoke with me at length on the phone for no charge.

I would've had about 7-8k into this house if I had bought it and put in new HVAC so my question is would you have: 1. put the new HVAC system in and increase the # of years of the note for a higher price 2. put window units in and charged around 12.5k or 3. not put any money in and just sold it as-is for a cheaper price?

Removing emotion from the equation will help you develop a more pragmatic approach.

If your own maintenance staff is used on most matters, do you charge for each hour worked?

On top of that, she charges a $500 flat rate above the commission.

PMs typically charge half to a full months rent to fill a vacancy.

ie charging order protections etc would be a biggie....after all they do call this place commifornia

Does anyone know if there is a set amount of money a landlord can charge for a tenant cancelling their lease early?

I'm going to hopefully remedy this by using MySmartMove now which charges $25 (have been allowing people to fill out applications for free previously). 4.

the tenants at one house moved out a few weeks ago. they were there just one year and moved in after the house was freshly painted and re-carpeted.anyway. there were fingerprints and smudges on the walls all over the house and even areas that you'd have to try to leave a fingerprint. nothing that a new coat of paint can't cover, but the whole house needed to be re-painted.regarding the carpet, there are dog pee stains and large furniture impressions. they tried to steam all stains out and even used spray chemicals to remove them. it does not smell, but the stains are there.would you charge them or keep a portion of the s. deposit for something like this?
