Double edged sword, now we are getting better rates but if you have a claim it will be tougher to fight them.I have a good company I use and they write in all states. 

So owners have to fight to keep their averages up. 

Whether that state can or cannot is a huge can of worms, conflict of laws, how much of a fight put up, is removal to federal court an option, etc..And unfortunately, even this post isn't exhaustive.

-based nonprofit organization that works to prevent human trafficking.Yost's office is fighting to stem the demand for sex trafficking via law changes and other approaches, but places like Harriet's Hope "provide that highway of hope for a survivor to be able to exit the life," he said."

I'm a Central Coast home owner who is interested in joining the fight to reclaim property rights per the state's ADU laws.

Check your Management Agreement with regards to early termination penalty, but for that egregious of an oversight, I would fight him in court if he assesses the ANY penalty. 

You were requiring a "surrender" of the deposit in full, and that probably would violate local security deposit laws in most areas.The rest of the post was about the reaction to being told to surrender - an "alpha type" individual won't like hearing surrender, and they will fight.

Now granted, the color may be harder to cover and may take more time and cost, but the judge wont let you charge the whole cost to the tenant...a portion at best.Same with holes in the walls....if we are talking nails, tacks, etc and the tenant has been there a few years, that's considered reasonable....to expect nothing is not reasonable........ if the tenant attempted to FIX the issue without your approval and made it worse, then you can ding them for the extra work.There is a big difference on what you emotionally THINK/FEEL you should be able to hold the tenant liable for and what will actually hold up if they take you to court.My eviction lawyer often tells his clients to go ahead and try and charge for that stuff.......many tenants wont put up a big enough fight to take it to court....but if they do, you will lose so be prepared to pay it out

The task of fighting for that as a standalone unit is cost and time prohibitive.
