Finally after getting nowhere in contacting I posted a termination of lease notice on her front door the beginning of June.

Sent a tenant a notice of rent increase at the end of their lease if they want to renew.

She is giving a 30 day notice, do I collect rent and then refund her that last months rent when she is moved out?

Is anyone else noticing there seems to be an increase in homes that are coming back on the market across Los Angeles?

@Caleb CrockettHad the same issue in Ohio, what I did was give a 90 day notice that rents are increasing and I have 2 options, stay and pay $150 less than what market rent is in area due to the fact I didn’t want to have turnover and repairs right away, so a year lease to save money for such issues or leave and rent was going up to market rent in area.

Give him notice as he's causing damage to the property. 

Hello all, My wife and I are about purchasing a single family home that built 10 years ago, which listed for ~5,400 sqft, I noticed that based on floor plan, it is under 4000 sqft, and although I applied maximum home length * width * number of floor, it's only 4,800, while there is attached garage that is 500 sqft, and 350 sqft balcony on the top floor, which need to deduct from 4,800 sqft  so it would be still just around 4,000 sqft.
