Ours will handle the whole case, filing, representation and the follow up damages hearing and receipt of judgement for about $300 with court costs.  

As an example, in Maryland, if the Deposit is not returned (or a full accountung given) within 45 days of move out, then the Landlord has to pay treble damages to the Tenant, regardless of the condition the Tenant left the property, or their breach of lease.

If damage was done and it's obvious how or intent then charge them.

I have a property in Atlanta Georgia thats 70% complete and have a problem with kids breaking in, damaging windows, pouring paint on the floor and breaking the doors.

If there are damages and you are at fault, there needs to be a target for injured party to hit.

I heard about this guy who had some roof damage.

Here's a few: dress appropriately, have good hygiene, if you have biz cards make them look professional, buy a domain name for your email address, create a website, make sure your online profiles are up to date and professional, have a professional voicemail message, return phone calls and emails, don't give someone a dead fish handshake (own it), listen, take care when writing emails, and the list goes on.

Blaming the previous administration, no matter how deserved, doesn't work if you promised to fix the damage in your first term.

But, you also take a chance with damage with each tenant.

I believe I can charge harder because its not the best area and I carry more risk of my house being damage if they don't pay and I have to foreclose .Well thank you every one
