I understand that, say, playing an online game can't be interrupted, but if I come back after telling you to take out the garbage and rather than doing it, you've entered another match, you lose the privilege of having that online game respected.  

Their deposit was $2600 and I'm only planning on retaining their deposit, but not charging them the remaining $1000.Full story: My tenants with a 2 year lease just moved out after 9 months.  

Also there is 1 month of rent he forced me to use from his security deposit, citing covid related hardships. 8 months have passed and he has still not replenished the security deposit.What are the best legal ways I can evict this tenant?

In the meantime we spoke on the phone about a $15k deposit upfront to lock the property up this year (which is negotiable).

when calculating the ARV of a single family, i know that I'm supposed to look up houses that have sold within the last 90 days or so within the same neighborhood, and no more or less than 200sqft. when doing so, REDFIN and ZILLOW's given estimates don't match each other and don't match the last sold price. what do you do to most accurately calculate ARV?

What would you charge to the security deposit for this damage to the wall? 

Jerry is now asking me for half security deposit after lease term expires.

And within this program is the Rapid Re-Housing program that can pay a lease up to 12 months in advance, pay double the security deposit, and pay the landlord a signing bonus of up to 3 times the monthly rent.  

Have him deposit the funds into my account and wait 3 months to get pre—approved, since I will have to submit my last two bank statements?

I would start looking for another place and let them know why you are not going to be renting and ask for your full deposit (if any given yet) to be returned as they have not lived up to the terms of the lease.
