M claims to toss trash in the neighborhood gas station dumpster instead of paying for the service.

I did hear loud banging around because apparently when one of them is upset he likes to use the cabinets as a punching bag) One time their loud yelling argument spilled out onto the front yard and neighbors called the police on them.It has now been almost a month since they moved in and they still have not put the gas + electric utilities in their name (these utilities are NOT included in the lease) The ONLY fortunate thing is that they have SS income that is sufficient to pay the rent at least...This problem is obviously MY fault for not being through enough in my screening process and for allowing them to move in before getting the utilities in their name...

If you want something with an ADU, that's going to be a lot more since you have to run water/sewer, electric, and gas.

There is a unit above ours who also has pipe issues, and our kitchen ceiling began to leak.

There are some additional ways to increase the amount of rent by landlord paying gas and electric.

Hey guys,Was charged $375 to replace a hot water expansion tank and $155 to cut out and press or crimp in a new 4 inch section of copper piping (had a pin size hole that developed and leaked water). 

I’m also looking for rental properties to acquire and am waiting for the fallout of the oil and gas market to disrupt the real estate market.

It also leaks when there is heavy rain.

Otherwise tell them you are shutting off the water as there is a leak and it needs to be repaired. 

Within a few years the roof cement will dry out and crack and you will start to have multiple leaks.
