Self-help evictions cause way too many problems.How do you prove a tenant is not paying?

And when tenant has caused damage that should have come out of the deposit?

Vehicles and titled trailers, toys like a 4 wheeler the lien is perfected by completing the lien section on the title and sent in to the DMV or similar state agency.It the interest is in connection with a land deal, file a notice of the other lien in the land records with the subject property, if they will do it, but it at least throws caution in a title search that may cause contractual issues, but aren't liens on the property.Don't file a note unless your recorder requires it for personal property, you may need to prove the debt was created. :).

I've had some issues with plumbing; mostly weakened pipes and deteriorated valves.The plant life moving in; roots, vines and branches can get into place and cause some damage.

You'll have to determine if it's worth holding it for a month for him cause realistically you'd be losing money by holding it.

Also because usually all uits are the same age, you have the same thing go wrong around the same time, costing double for repairs -Ex: one 20 yr old AC unit goes bad - two months later, the second 20 yr AC unit goes out.so those are things to think about...As a first time landlord 3 tenants may seem a little intimidating at first, but you may find that much like wild animals, many times they are more scared of you, than you are of them - just don't let them smell blood, cause they can still be dangerous.

Its the part of the policy that states if the renter were to be the cause of damage to your property, their renters insurance will pay up to typically 100k for the damages.

My attention to my property has also caused the adjacent 4plex with a partial shared drive way to shape up their exterior, pick up any trash outside, etc.

What was rather ignored was the fact that a deed is effective when it is made, not when it is filed, so technically, that could cause the agreement null and void, as the buyer agreed to buy and at the same time, deeded the interest back, but the deed was basically kept in the drawer, held by an escrow agent and often held by the seller!
