@Salvatore Giancolai had this kind of behavior lately with my tenants, in other country (not U.S), but you need to be very clear like you did with the letter and very creative if you can speak with them over the phone or with your Lawer and do some tricks that can cause them to go out, by the law of course.Every one can agree with me that no one wants to be “marked” , because rent payment.Your credit score damage and a lot of other things.For both of them if they won’t be pay this , it will be almost impossible to find a place to rent.This is how i solved it in my country.And try to find more “regular” tenants next time..After i signed a contract with single mother with 4 kids that didnt open the door for me for more then mouth and did so much damage to the apartment ..I learned the best lesson in the world.Hope you will be fine , remember from every situation with tenants we learn something new.

These folks have caused a water damage and downstair roof has crashed down in the washer/dryer room.

After a barrage of threatening and profanity-laced texting to “cost us 100x more” in damage if we don’t follow through, we agreed on $300.

@Douglas Snook My thinking on the 93A approach is that the tenant will likely be awarded triple damages.  

I hired a lawyer for the eviction but now they want $1750 to file for the monetary damages.

I already have their October check, but would not cash it without talking to them, however, I also have their damage deposit with is more than October rent.

Subtract all damages and then add the unpaid rent. 

I agree with Michael that your main goal should be to determine if the property can generate a good positive cashflow after running the numbers and taking into account any cap X costs that may be coming up such as a new roof or hot water tank.

Hey guys,I have a property that I am putting under contract.It is in Clayton County, GA.The tenant of this property currently has large water bill.The owner of this property said that this water bill is tied to the owner and that it is not tied to the property itself.How true is this statement?

There are some parts of Chicago that do not have metered water services.
