Have all the paper work for this ready when you have them sign the notice above.Another option, since they obviously have problems managing their money, offer them a payday payment plant.

I have a clause in my lease that states that negligence on the part of the tenant that causes damage to an appliance (or the toilet/sink/shower), is their responsibility.

Highly doubt Tile would make the floor bow unless the floor is made of wet paper towels.

Imagine my surprise when a toilet in the unit of one of our Section 8 units almost fell through the floor because of a leak that had gone undetected for years.

I am mainly concerned about the strict separation between me and the IRA, and figured I should avoid having a paper trail with my personal name on an offer that eventually is owned by the IRA.I didn't submit the offer today, and will hopefully be able to do so tomorrow after consulting with the custodian.

Sale from me to LLC for current market value (I don't have the capitalization depth to fund the LLC first, then show a paper money trail)? 

we had a new tenant move in and immediately start having toilet clog problems.  

Instead focus on Mortgage companies that actually fund their own deals and warehouses the paper until such time their are properly seasoned usually six months.

We communicate mostly by text but I like having a paper trail for repairs and other issues.
