If some major issue comes up like a fire, medical emergency, or some other incident at the property i would let my childhood friend take over the damage control by giving him some limited level power of attorney.Im not sure if there are certain limitations I can put on my friends power of attorney but as mentioned before it’s something iv considered doing. 

After a few incidents, during which we used the two-way speaker system to warn them, the issues went away.

Also, capturing all water damaged areas, (subfloor, joists, studs, etc) related to the incident(s) will also factor in your costs.Once you get all of that, then you can see if the proposed work  will meet expectations and is within your financial comfort zone.

All you need is one incident and you are wiped out.

Also, it seems as though our neighbors just generally would prefer that we move after the trauma of the incident.

I give one warning, verbal in person or on the phone followed up with a formal written letter, and then evict immediately if there is a second incident.

We just had a problem tenant give us a 15 day notice near the end of last month, did not pay their August rent and did not move out until the 13th of August.While we like to think we are Hard Butts', we evaluate each incident based on whether we think the tenant will move out when they say they will.

Can I collect lost rent due to a homeowners claim if the house was vacant at the time of the incident?

These folks often go away for a few weeks after the incident, but for some reason they continue coming back and we have to repeat the process all over again.Thoughts?

$40,000 fine per incident if you work on more than 20 square feet exterior or 6 SF interior and there is lead paint present, applicable to all housing built before 1978.
