Also, leaks cause damage to the drywall and other items.

I feel it is too big of a risk for the seller to damage the work you have done or decide they don't want to move and then squat in your house.

They always pretend to be confused and just want us to send someone.7) Some will cause damages that S8 won't require to be fixed, but will threaten to move if you don't fix it.

I have been to the legislature and city council meetings to testify against the so-called ‘tenant protections’ that are damaging rental opportunities for marginal tenants.There is no “right answer” for you, but here are a few considerations.1.

Last cleaning cycle, I had two of my properties with disconnected/damaged vent ducts that essentially vented the dryer into the basement (in one case) or the attic (in the other case).  

Can you tell us more about the water damage you got? 

The last time I did an insurance MTR it involved my work truck, an alternating current generator, 150 feet of extension cord, a sawzall, an appliance dolly, my 14 foot trailer, a house with fire damage and a $3000 Samsung French door fridge.Don't expect to make any money without doing any work.

Thank you Ned, that is exactly right, we actually check a condo/townhouse about 2 weeks ago, the thing was a condo with a basement, I cannot tell if it was a condo or townhome, anyway, the ceiling in the first floor was bowing, the 2nd floor, one of the bedroom was sinking, could not tell how this damage was done but the walls came apart from the floor, you could see the roof of the unit bowing inwards towards the structure a bit, and their "general contractor" estimate that for 5k they could straighten the property and level everything, even 1 window and 1 door looked so uneven that you would think  there was something wrong with your eyes...5k for structural damage, good luck with that one, we ran as far as we could from that....but we have seen they do inflate their ARV, since we learned the hard way , we go through these deals with a magnifying glass, I knew I was not so picky, numbers do not lie.Another thing that caught my attention, which I do not know if I am overly suspicious now that I am older, but they want to get the closing for us at the same time/day they are getting the property from whoever they buying it, which it seems to me they try to save on the closing by having a "dual" closing when in reality is just 1 closing and we are the one paying for it...I do not know there are few things that do not click right with this folks.

I've used an extra guest fee as insurance for parties to recoup some money for damages successfully.

One is the order of possession and the other is an award for the monetary damage.
