The 5 day is a threat to evict and I don't think you are legally allowed to do that even.

Bulging walls with out any signs of remediation, jacks that are threating to kick out.

Hi Rehabbers and Builders.We recently had a plumber who disappeared into thin air along with the $1000 installment we had paid him.

IMO they are one in the same :) My post quickly disappeared as I'm sure this one will.  

Nope the cash value disappears.  

Things are different if the tenant poses an eminent threat to the safety of neighbors or the property however.Here's an interesting article I came across that touches on this as well as eminent domain laws in Japan:http://www.japantoday.com/category/opinions/view/e...

I work on a US navy base and rather than turned down, we are heavily sought after tenants because owners realize that there are several advantages to leasing to military connected people: Rents are significantly higher, tenants don't disappear in the middle of the night although the required notice is quite short as people may receive relocation orders that require them to move quickly.

The bluer the state, the more risks you have on your real estate because the number of fines/payments to be made, and entities to be paid under threat of lein action escalates by the state.

It's hard to "love" dealing with a tenant who disappears owning you rent.

My question, dear forum members is, should I go and clean stove, take pictures, etc.. or let them follow-through on threat to withhold rent?
