They'll run the AC down to 60 degrees in a 100 degree summer, and turn the heat up to 80 degrees in the freezing winter.

Hi everyone,I managed to get my first house rented this year (I'm a renter myself).  We just hit a cold snap here in Atlanta (temperatures hovering around 25F).  While there is a tenant currently living in the house, ...

I normally just use the corner boxes to save the headache but I'm hibernating for the winter and have a garage full of saws and boards so I thought I'd practice a bit.

. ~10-12 during the winter months and 30+ / month during the summers.You mentioned security deposit in your title but I did not read anything in your paragraph that you have anything on file (if you did, there are proper ways to deduct).

You also need to factor in vacancy and utility costs during vacancy (and if tenant is paying water etc).Also if this is in a winter area who will do snow plowing, lawn maintenance etc...There is a lot of little things that can add up to make sure you have yourself covered.

Evicting in the middle of winter in Massachusetts obviously isn't preferable - any advice as to aggressively pursuing eviction or maybe stalling?

@Jay Dewberry I aprenciate your response, thank you, and yes difinitly the wording, because it was just water damage, as for the numbers total rent would be 1650 all together, i pay water sewer, garbage 180.00 tops, and gas during winter 150.00 tops and mortgage 800.00 plus insurance 60.00And property tax 2400.00 a year, but my main question would be is it better to rewire it now, before i put it back together?

Finally, the ultimate goal would be to purchase a small summer home in Iceland and a small winter home in the Caribbean!

They will act like while they are surprised when trying to get to a cabin in the mountains, in winter, to go skiing the roads were slick.  

I WITHHELD LAST MONTH'S ELECTRIC PAYMENT BECAUSE I WENT FROM $106.00 BILLS ALL WINTER TO MAY'S BILL BEING $181.00.
