Evictions you have to use a lawyer.

I'm not a lawyer, so no idea legally, but common sense would tell me that if I turned it over to the tenant a year ago in good working order and they gave it back broken, clearly more than normal wear and tear, they would be responsible for it, not me, and I would deduct it from their deposit.

. :)I find it interesting that many lawyers do not fully grasp option contracts, were they sleeping in Contract Law classes?

Be sure to include copies of the estimates and receipts you are using to justify your deductions from their deposit.For example, if the deposit was $1,500 and you get an estimate for $500 and spend another $200 on other repairs, then send them back a check for $800 (1500-500-200=800) with a copy of receipts for the $200 of work and a copy of the estimate for the $500, and include a note that you will return any portion of the $500 from the estimate if there is any left after the work is done.I'm not a lawyer, but this is how I've seen real estate lawyers say to do it.

If you were dealing with BUYERS on the other hand driving them around etc. then it would probably be more difficult.There are ALOT of people that tend to look down on the notion working part time for instance I just read this "Would any of you go to a Part-Time Lawyer who only works weekends?

I would recommend a lawyer or a C.P.A.

No license issues at the time and I just used a Lawyer to put the paper work through..

If you had millions and wanted to throw a spec play that represented only a very small percentage of your portfolio then maybe buy some things cheap and see what happens.

We are required to personally serve to all adults on the rental agreement or post and mail.We do not have to use certified mail and do not, but the lawyers recommend certified.

Landlord and Tenant recognize that name represents the Landlord and that no other broker is involved in this transaction.
