I usually go with black appliances and to date luckily I have not had any appliances stolen or damaged..but I've heard of stories of appliances being stolen.

If the unit passes the inspection and your rent amount is acceptable to the housing authority, you then complete your normal process of signing a lease or rental agreement, collecting the damage deposits, etc.

It seems that as small or not institution sized investor landlords we only have ways to prevent things and no pro action for finacial damages concerning money.

Please help.....we are charging the tenant now $5000 in damages to the mobile home, jackuzzi(sp) and roof of mobile home. mobile home was pristene when he moved in on April 8th of this year.....broken window, broken front door and floor.

I like what he says about LLC’s and contracts with banks and in a tort cases where someone is damaged by your negligence where the tort victim never had a contract saying he could not sue personally.

Anything that did occur was probably damage caused by the tenant.The ways situations like these are handled is what causes many professional tenants to get that way in the first place.

======================Tenants acknowledge that animals are a source of fleas, ticks, allergies, barking, biting, legal/insurance issues, property damage and disturbing other residents and neighbors.

There was a small list of damages.

What are your provable damages?

If the damage is minor and she has a high deductible, it may not be worth it to file a claim for something like this if it's only a matter of patching the leak and replacing/finishing/painting some drywall.
