She has lived with us a very short time (4 months) and leaves dishes in the sink, burns incense (had to be asked twice to stop), cleaned the shared bathroom once after being asked, and has never bought any paper products as indicated on her roommate agreement.

got a great deal (131k) on a sfh worth 220-230 all fixed up.The thing is it is actually in really good condition and clean.

Remind her that you’ll return the full security deposit if the house is clean and all trash removed.

Then I was able to clean up the upstairs and get new renters there with a higher rent as well.Feb 2019, purchased my second duplex for $77,000 off market.

However, I will say it is critical that you have neat and clean tenants!
