Its not GA starter housing construction which I have been through many and they are as cheaply built as you can humanly do..

Can you imagine you want to buy a car and the auto dealer won't let you in the dealership until you show proof of funds?  

But that price for trapping and relocation sounds very reasonable, for my area at least.I would only advocate for humane methods and highly disagree that shooting animals in the head is part of being a landlord...

That's DUMB luck.You have to be lucky by the definition that includes using our human intelligence.

And just to follow up on the above, on a quality LVT with a good AO finish I have smoothed the edge of a quarter before in front of my dealers.

So it's really dealers choice at this point LOL

But, for the sake of humanity: I pray you are right.I know of someone who leases a number of rentals in the Bay Area that are owned by investors overseas.

If it's there, painters have primers they can use to (try to) cover the smell (the primers I know of have a heavy solvent smell for X hours and are not for pet or human occupied dwellings).You could offer two solutions (recommend air fresheners be used if they stay, AND (before move in) offer to let them out of the lease).

I come from  a country where things like this become a "human right" after the left does some good propaganda.i dont get why with 4% of unemployment everybody could pay rent just fine  but now with 6-7% of unemployment nobody can.All this being said, i currently  have 10 units in FL and so far all the  tentants are paying rent every month just fine.

If you want to never hear from him ever again, tell him that both your lawyer and a "friend" who works for Police/ICE have warned you about liability and human trafficking situations, and thus the insistence on background checks for every occupant.Since he's changed his story already, you still have an easy and legal no.
