To make this happen, we non-renew the tenant according to state law (full month rental period) and then at the end of the month when the tenant becomes a hold over, we do a three-day notice and then we'll give them until the 11th to get out before we file.

Because a microscope has a useful life of more than one year, the $10,000 expense is not currently deductible under Section 174.The "useful life" of an asset is not its physical life, but rather the period during which it may reasonably be expected to be useful in your business.

Failure to do these two things results in being thrown out, and having their slight belongings thrown out.Then they are homeless and must couch surf with friends until they can come up with another deposit of X weeks rent for another similar weekly room situation.The renters cash income may come from a job, or other (extra-legal) means.You will find situations like this in tough neighborhoods, and if Section-8 finds out about it--Mrs-X will be off of Section-8 for some set period of time, and have to fend for herself housing wise.
