Hello, thanks for taking a look. I began picking up a few rental properties in 2013 and still hold them, but unfortunately haven't done much since other than ensuring the properties are maintained regularly. I'm looki...

Don't sign anything until this is resolved.

Its resolved though.

let us know how it gets resolved.

Bought a multi-family in May and the neighbor is a nut job.Has an endless list of complaints, some valid and some not.He called the property code inspector two weeks after closing, and I have a laundry list of repairs that I now need to (financially) prioritize over renovating and renting out the interior.The violations are about half resolved…then today my tenant notified me that city lead abatement folks were at the property.I feel like every time I turn around he’s going to be calling in trying to get the property cited, and I can’t let my guard down.

The cost in flooring damage alone from their animal dictates it.Although, it sounds like it's resolved now - good job!

Short term as you may imagine are emergency situations usually resolved within 3 months - until they find a next of kin, etc. the court moves quickly on these, unlike the others).2 - Is income used for rent going to be used to qualify for rent?

Take a look and see what it will take to resolve it.Good Luck.

Every single time my desirable tenant has a conversation with this guy's tenants, my tenant reinforces her belief that she's getting a good deal and resolves to stay, while his tenants reinforce their belief that their LL is a crook and deserves to get as much misery from them as possible.Ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching, I make my money month after month, and he never sees a quality applicant.

There are clear landlord-tenant laws that control the situation at hand.The fact that people lived for thousands of years without modern amenities is irrelevant and also not in line with modern landlord-tenant laws.Also Nathan makes big assumptions about the rental value at $2000/month and that the stove is electric rather than gas.With all that said: I don't think you need to rush to calling attorneys, I do think that if the situation is resolved in a day or two from when she lost gas, it's ok to just prorate her rent.
