A good friend waited two years to get their deposit back due to strategic moves by a military landlord to avoid/delay repayment of deposit on a poorly cash flowing rental they owned (I believe they wanted the deposit to handle repairs they couldn't afford or want to pay for that were not the tenants responsibility).BP Service members, is it ethical to delay handling tenant disputes due to a deployment?

I wanted to dispute the taxes so I filled out the forms and after 6 months of not hearing back from them I called them and they told me that if they didn’t get to it this year that I could dispute it again with them next year if I wanted to.So what I’m saying is it may be a great deal and if you are local you will probably have a much better experience, but there will likely be more costs associated with the property that you have not planned for that may bring down the ROI or you might also need to bring in more money than expected in the first year to address things you are currently not aware of yet.

The resident is disputing such charge.

Word of advice,  when you have a dispute with your client , never throw it in their face " well it was in the contract" .

If anyone out there has experience resolving disputes with underbid fixed price contracts I would greatly appreciate the input!

Don't really see why I would need an attorney unless a dispute arises, than expect I could hire one?             

I understand your frustration and after reading the communication between you and our Property Manager it seemed you all were in agreement And moving toward a resolution, which is why I was stunned by this post.

If you want to remain friends you must hire a lawyer to draw up the partnership agreement and definatly include a escape clause in the event timing of sale is ever in dispute.

Just like a divorce attorney is qualified for a patent dispute because they're still an attorney, you would not interchange them.
