If the LL does not resolve maintenance concerns then the tenant may opt to terminate the lease, but I suspect there's a process for ensuring interested parties are accommodated fairly (shoulder shrug).

Suggestions on neighborhoods are welcome too-- anywhere in Greater Seattle.I know COVID is impossible to predict, so I'd definitely appreciate advice in both scenarios (COVID dragging out vs. resolving quickly.) 

Airbnb security gets one complaint and it takes you weeks if not months to resolve and your house sits empty, destroying your projected ROI.

The cleaning is looking to cost around $10k alone - and this doesn't include replacing soft furnishings, or the HVAC system - as we have flexible ducting and Colorado meth regulations don't allow the cleaning of flexible ducting.Not to mention we've had to move out and find other accommodation until this is resolved - which is looking to take 4-8 weeks.My insurance have said they don't cover the cost to remediate meth contamination, but I've not pushed hard on them yet, as I was waiting for the test results.Any help / advice would be much appreciated! 

While I wished this was resolved earlier in November, I do feel a bit more at ease that what I experienced was a one off and not what is typical of what REI provides.will still refer them to F&F in the future.  

I would suck it up as a lesson learned, resolve the current situation with the tenant (which probably means you pay $ to shut them up) to avoid further legal troubles, and have the heat immediately separated in whatever way makes sense for this property.

Would VASH resolve this???? 

Hey Brandon, the link to the ultimate beginners guide does not seem to work for me, is there an issue with my account status or is there an issue resolving the link maybe?
