The fire damage is likely fixable as long as it’s not structural.

You have 4 sets of appliances, water heaters, etc.

Hi @Cynthia Brownlee,There are two types of coverage for ground movement damage (sinkhole) in FL.

If a water pipe breaks and the place floods, you would have to move out while renovations take place.

I've raised my security deposit requirement to 1.5x monthly rent so I'm covered for 1 month plus some damages if they don't pay last month, and also a cushion for those trying the Emotional Support Animal route to save on a pet deposit. 

It was also much more expensive than I had originally been quoted.Then I purchased blinds for the property and went down there and installed those.Then we saw that there was water damage on the window sill.

The problem is we have approximately 2 weeks of travel coming up for July, and we need time between their tenancy and the next to do some updates (paint, new flooring, new water heater), and I don't want the house to sit vacant while I'm out of town.  

Can you get coin op ones to break even on the water and electric?

It's very hard to make someone buy something they don't want to buy, and you've already acknowledged there is an inspection contingency and that the house has had major flood damage multiple times in the past year (it's not difficult to find a $1500 material defect) . 

Dear Tenant,After speaking with the technician, it was clear the condenser was damaged because you failed to maintain the landscaping per Paragraph XX of the Lease Agreement.
