They make sure your title is clear and all the paperwork in order to officially transfer your property.

I generally have  3-4 month stays Jan-April and then will accept rentals 3 days-1 month the rest of the year.

@Natalie KolodijAccording to the bigger pockets official write up, you can depreciate common areas if shared equally.

Usually the rest of the fees are settled at closing

Hi Robert, just a simple declaration that they intend to move out on July 1. nothing official. 

Btw, it should be noted your HUD tenant is already receiving a subsidy courtesy of the US taxpayers, so any talk of "fairness" should probably keep that in mind.The rest of the decisions should come pretty easy after you figure this first part out.  

I could even make the basement into my own living quarters and be sort of closed off from the rest of the house.Tato: Thanks so much!

I am a new land lord and am wanting to start doing Section 8My question is-If my rent is $725 and the tenant has an $800 voucher- what happens to the rest of the money?

Flu kills only 0.1%, but over 20 million Americans get the year and that doesn't even count the rest of the world.

I guess the difference is vacating the premise vs terminating the lease.....The tenant lease doesn't terminate until the end of the month...... they can hand you the keys and move out so it's vacant..... but the legal lease is still in place until the end of the month.If they hand you the keys, they have officially vacated the premise.....
