We replied yes, but it's full of tools and electrical and isn't safe - Please give us 24hr notice.

It helps keep the landlords aligned with the City's goals of having nice, safe, clean streets and properties, and helping incentivize landlords to rent to good, responsible tenants, and manage them effectively so things like this do not happen.

Her vacationing roomates stuff is all safely placed away from wall. 

I usually have a little notebook next to me that I take notes on , and then type that into a document I have on my external hard drive for reference.

@Seth Rouch $150 a ft is probably still safe for single family depending on area, square footage and price point (basements less per ft).

If you are going to manage the properties yourself, before buying the property ask yourself would you drive there at 11PM in January?

Personally I would not send a letter or an email .i would drive right over there immediately walk rIght up to the door and tell the idiot to hIs face to lose the dog or he will be evicted then I’d hand him the quit or pay notice right then and tell him to improve his conduct or him and Fido will be whimperIng on the street . ..or you could kindly send him an email bake him some fresh sugar cookies and ask him if he was willing to compromise with just 3 pit bulls in the house

It generally drives some calls.

Do your self a favor and make sure you set the rules with the tenants or they will drive you crazy.

If I end up collecting rent, it should be safe enough of an area that I could go at any time of the day with no worries.
