It also makes it one step easier to evict them (if that becomes an issue) than with a standard lease agreement.Regarding your tenants, just have them sign your new rental agreement the moment you take possession. 

Not for their personal possessions but for the damage they caused.

What professional tenants are after is possession of your property and they are prepared to pay to get it.

If not, try to get him to text that he's relinquished possession and is abandoning whatever's left in the unit.Text: Joe, I need you to agree that you have completely moved out, even though you haven't given me the key and are abandoning everything left in the rental.  

@Dawn Brenengen I could be mistaken but by the time we take possession of the 35k Tesla the tax credit will have sunset.I drove the S with the full auto pilot and its freaky scary... driving down a winding road and not touching the wheel.. auto parking.. slide in and out of parking spots on its own.. its pretty coolI just worry about people now feeling free they can text and drive since the car is doing the driving.its swtichs lanes  etc etc.. but Having been on the wrong end of my autopilot going wonky and wondering what George is doing I just cant fully trust automation to save my life  LOL...

In an event such as you just experienced, I would report failed payments until I have regained possession of the apartment and had it relet.Speaking of possession, if you have not so done, check the tenancy laws in Maine to see if you need to go through the eviction process to regain possession of the unit (which technically still belongs to your tenants who are merely just "late" at this point).

Once they have all of their possessions out of the home then I will sign closing papers and change the locks.

It was even more disgusting when I took possession of the property and realized that they hadn't flushed in a while - lets just say nasty; my plumber wasn't too happy about moving that toilet :).Before photo:After photo:This property was not even close to being able to finance with conventional financing, so I went the hard money route.

You are about to turn over possession of your property.

Also, many states are in fact legalizing weed for personal or medical reasons, but there's still limits on the amount you can possess at any given time..
