In addition to unpaid rents owed, we also addressed deductions to their security deposit funds for the following:$450 --- Landscape maintenance cleanup (violation of lease terms for their failure to maintain the exterior of the property during their tenancy)$300 --- Interior cleaning fee (they left without cleaning the interior of the property)$250 --- Smoke remediation (violation of lease terms --- failure to adhere to the non-smoking policy inside the home).

@Rob Bergeron Probably not the best forum for those topics but personally I've been buying marijuana stocks (I don't even smoke).

Anybody ever use any of the Deodorizers to get rid of cigarette smoke.

Not only that, the eviction and loss of tenant may deter your buyers, be careful going down that road.Not sure why the tenant would be so uncooperative, however, you should have in your lease some clause stating you have the right (upon written notice) to enter your home for inspections, smoke detector checks, etc.

You now wait for the phone to ring. . .and it does, at mid dark thirty in the morning, during church, during dinner. . . wanting to see the property all hours of the day. . . while you are at work.

Well as we all know those types of properties are management dark holes and the Aussies took some pretty serious loses..

It got to be too much for me, spending three months of the year breathing smoke and not seeing the sun.
