The overleverage ends up forcing them to sell at an inopportune time in the future and realize a loss over the life of the project(s).

@Guy Gimenez  care to share what kind of clause can be put in an assignment agreement that forces the end buyer to answer your calls and be responsive to your attempts to connect with them prior to closing?

Is there any room for you to force appreciation in the current market conditions if you are having to lower rent to stay competitive and keep your vacancies down?

At the end of the day I see it like this: If the individual really NEEDS to sell their house it will be quite difficult to force them to lose that motivation.

If you force them to pay all of it even if its their fault they could end up becoming bad tenants and will cost you more in the end.

This means they will decide not to renew for another year and you will be forced to go somewhere else, which stinks for you as well.

Pets do not want to live in filth but are forced to sometimes by irresponsible humans.Just like young kids the age of the pet is critical.

Courts make a distinction between permissible liquidated damages clauses, and impermissible penalties imposed on tenants to to force their compliance.

I owned a 20 unit apartment building at one point and just from my years of experience no amount of calling them or trying to force them to fix the issue will get it completed.I know what you are talking about with the lease where they fix the first 50 dollars of repairs.

So, there is another issue with dog bites if they were provoked and the conduct of the victim, their age and actions together with how the dog acts, using reasonable force or mauling someone as mentioned by our dog police here.
