At least I know the deposit will help cover some of it and at the end of the day, I've stopped them from doing any additional damage by enticing them to move, not to mention I'll be making 4K+ more a year once I find a new tenant.Funny thing is, she tried to scam me and claim she was going to get a room mate from work since she is a single income household so she could afford the rent when I had offered it to her for half way in between what she was paying now and what market rent is.

so it depends on the setting.. even at that taking no cash the front of their office was like a bank teller with bullit proof glass and a sliding slot door.. kind of like a low end convience market in the HOOD

Halfway through the rehab people get more interested and some start submitting applications, and when I am close to done pretty much everyone who sees it fills out an application.

Maybe a high-top table, bar stools and wine glasses set up in a corner.  

They broke my glass dining room table and threatened to sue me?

We gave the guy a good portion of his security deposit back before he stormed off and we can do the rest of the walk-through.We found deep gouges in the walls due to moving, our lead-glass cabinet was broken, and the ground upstairs is soaked in animal excrement that will require redoing the hardwood floors.To be completely honest we would like to sue him over all of these repairs.

I have 2 inherited tenants that are halfway out the door to join the other 4.

Brick pavers, higher at house step down half way to sidewalk.

Just joining in on the discussion, I am halfway done with the MD pre-licensing course and plan to keep my full time job while being a realtor part time.

So there is an area that is vented with a glass window/wall.
