I would let her go if she wants to although I would ask for official notice and I would consult a lawyer on the eviction.

As we have lawyers involved I will leave them to expose your strange behaviour on this forum.I reiterate my question, when is the more than 20 thousand dollars of rent collected and not paid to clients going to be paid.

Yes, and I will escalate to involving a lawyer if need be.

I'm not a lawyer, but don't convert those apartment to condos!

It's great to say I will only hire fully insured contractors for every job, and for my electrician, plumber, roofer, etc etc, I do know they are insured,,but to have manual labor, there are times I can't promise they are,,I'm not a fortune 500 company with a legal department to check over everyone's insurance policy,, Even if they have insurance, they can still sue you saying something wasn't right on the property that caused them to be injured,,, In my 'day job' my boss is worth a few hundred million, so guess what, we have every contract, insurance, etc run through our attorneys,,,a recent $500k purchase (not real estate), I spent nearly $175k on lawyers,,,,think about that 30% of the purchase price spent on legal..

I'm a lawyer and I'm starting a real estate investment business with another lawyer friend of mine.

Forecast your costs (lawyer, missed rent, rehab to make house rent ready) , multiply it by 2 and then ask it for a discount.If you have a motivated seller, you are in great shape!

I'm no lawyer and I'm not very smart, so I hire people to advise me.

I don't want to get a lawyer, that's not my goal, but something just seems unfair about incurring an extra $3500 just to improve my home.

I just met a lawyer names Larry Caplan who does real estate and mentioned property management.
