Thats all I will say 🤐🤐I would be very careful doing this on an occupied house... quick way to get confronted or worse.This doesn't sound like a deal. 2800 SF is a LOT to renovate.

Not usable tactics for hobby/part time landlords.I have pushed tenants to the point of them losing control resulting in physical confrontation.  

Info about the Agent / Property Manager killed in Utah while trying to evict a Tenant:https://tinyurl.com/y75qpqscObject Lesson: Not a good idea to confront people when you are alone.

I also strongly want to avoid legal confrontation.   

Parents confronted renters, told them that leak under the slab is very expensive major problem, flooded floor from broken washer was less of a problem. 

This doesn't need to be confrontational, but the conversation really needs to happen. 

However, by mentioning you are an investor and using terms like "I'm sorry, but..." and "I'm afraid that..." you present yourself as non-confrontational which will help her empathize with your position. 

If he's almost done, I may wait until he's fully completed the work before I confront him.

Looking to confront tenants regarding lease violations and pretty sure the process is not going to be easy and I don't want to write/say anything that could be problematic later.  

When I confronted him, he got very defensive.
