You'd think anyone who cared enough to have the property mowed would care about that broken window, at least board it up.

It will go up now that my debt is taken care of.

@Cody Burke Just be careful that when you refi out for ARV that the property will still cash flow... that's what I'm struggling with.

Atrium Management and I will take care of you

As a landlord, I’d want to take care of that ASAP regardless of who is paying for water.

Carefully understand the rules of your local housing authority.  

Even when rental property investing, you need to be thinking on a personal finance level as well- in this case, following the logic of an emergency fund. 

As long as the maintenance was taken care of within a reasonable time frame and complied with landlord laws then you should never lower the rent or take partial payments.

Take care!

Account Closed  now to be like Fox news fair and balancedone does have to be mindful that banks can change policies.. so you do need in my mind a healthy balance of private capital or your own and banks or other lenders as well.07 to 09 saw banking FREEEZE for us in the business I had almost 30 million in various credit lines out and they all got called Save one.. my core bank kept my 6 million working with out it I would have not made it.. the rest did not care and I had written into my loan terms that if they called these facilities I had 36 months to pay them off and I needed every bit of that time to do it.. but I can proudly say I did not default on a one and paid it all back and the agreed on interest.
