Thermostat was off the wall, laundry room filled up to 3ft with dirty clothes trash everywhere, bed frames dissasembled and no water.

Instead when the washer drained water went everyone.

Go and find out because the first thing you want to do is get the water out and dry out the space.

Prospecting is usually the best and most cost-effective way to generate conversations with potential sellers, plain old cold calling.

However I would probably bill it back to the tenant monthly if it was based on usage like water.

I hired roichamps dot com to do cold calling for me.

If you’re planning to do some cold calling, I highly recommend using www.fastpeoplesearch.com.

I recently heard from my tenant about consistently high water bills—over $1,000 each month.

@JD Martin the biggest issues have been related to furnaces, hot water, a missed clean, and broken hot tub. generous refunds have ranged from 25-100%, it really just depends on variables like nightly rate, guest demeanor, impact on their stay, etc. 

In the next few months, I'm looking to get a standard CA NAA lease with RUBS included for billing the water and sewer, as well as requiring tenants to have their own renters insurance, as that is not something they are currently required.
