And I think he did make a post that he is moving back to the mainland and it sounded like maybe taking  a different role in ODC  Again hard to glean things from facebook no one really gives any details on that site so all just wag's on my part.

Give them a couple of options, they already know the unit got foreclosed, most people move to avoid the hassle. 

@Kristin MathernI would pay it given no keys were provided, it wasn’t specifically addressed/mentioned in your lease, you were provided the opportunity to address/fix yourself with a 25-30 dollar replacement from Lowe’s/Home Depot, and lastly, it was an existing situation that could have been avoided/prevented at move in.

A lot of things can go wrong and there is more moving parts.

I have been in property management for 20 years, almost 3 years ago I moved to Birmingham AL to start my investment journey.
