There are a lot of scratches done by dogs and children toys.I cannot claim this as a damage and deduct the repairs from their deposit?

I don't think I can charge for regular maintenance or things I would do normally but I'm charging for repairs needed from damages caused by tenant.

The only thing that could, in my little damaged brain logic, make sense that the attorney would be so confident to side-step the noticing, hence the civil rights of equitable (possessory) owners is because of a strong relationship (?)

I deal with enough new and experienced investors to understand what damage such a silly statement could actually make.

If there is a leak somewhere in the line, you want to see it before it causes major damage.

I have bought new fridges for as little as 200 with cosmetic damage....as long as its somewhere no one can see who cares....they take a beating in the rentals anyway....

One missed enough rent that they had to be evicted, the other caused over $4K in damage to the property.

I feel that the little dogs do a lot of urine damage, so I'd rather have the mid size dogs.

I would hold her accountable till it's re-rented, you have to mitigate the damages by trying to find new tenants asap, so get it advertised and be able to show proof that your advertising. 

I know that might look best, but the wood look tile might last a LONG time and wont ever get water damaged.
