I've been in contact with them on more than one occasion since they called back in June and they've affirmed that they are moving, and even said they were sorry and they'd get the letter to me ASAP, but still no notice.When they initially called me back in June, I went ahead and started advertising the unit and have already gotten another lease signed for August 15.

Even those who cry wolf too many times may on some occasion have a serious situation arise that you will need to know about, so you can efficiently and effectively handle it.----------  Some Tips:1.

I've made exceptions to my tenants on occasion and it's always 50/50.

For the most part, you can do whatever you want...but having gone through something similar (though not always owner occupied) on multiple occasions, here's my feedback The owner has offered to issue the notice to the tenant, but would this be better if I did it once I took ownership?  

Things of note: *They didn't take the time to answer all the questions on the application, many were left blank*She has less then 600 credit, multiple delinquency, serious delinquency, revolving credit to high.

Also work trash(cardboard from contracting job) They were all alone in the back for a wile and I think they must have taken out their own trash and have on occasion actually done it.

.$200 isnt completely out of line for a repair job if there was more than resetting the toilet which I'd guess there was.I've made it a habit on any new property to hire a plumber to pull the toilets and replace wax rings with these from home depot or new wax rings on the rare occasion what I posted wont work (depends on floor height) -- if the toilets are old enough and I dont want to rebuild the guts I'll just replace them with models from Menards -- I really like Pro Flows from Ferguson supply, however I dont have the buying power my buddy does at his plumbing business so I cant justify spending twice the price there.  

To make a long story short, although they were on occasion late a few days due to the single income, they always came through and I worked with them per their situation.
