Is anyone else aware of reasonable alternatives?

From what I see all the people answering to me here (and there are so many) are just coming against and refusing to agree with my simple statement: "a landlord is not above the law or norms by its personal choice or presumed capability to judge what he don't know" or as well "a landlord cannot deny or miscarriage a service to a stranger without a known valid reason and at the same time pretend to be operating professionally or loyally to the moral"Basically I'm telling if you are not able to do your business correctly it would be better to find someone else than you, mainly when your ideas about "squatter" or fair treatment are coming from ignorance or completely invented. 

I'm hoping this forum can help me understand what my alternatives are.

A deed is given and accepted as an alternative to ("in lieu of") foreclosure.

I suggested using traps, and there were no further complaints until November 17.I promptly hired a professional for rodent treatment, which was completed within 10 days.The tenant is now demanding 3 months of free rent, claiming the property was "infected," despite my timely response and corrective measures.I need assistance crafting a response to this demand within 2 days to avoid escalation to small claims court.

Can I purchase the rods and charge back to tenant as missing/damaged window treatments when originals were blinds?

We estimate the project will take less than 3 months to complete.I’m exploring alternative short-term financing solutions and would appreciate any advice or recommendations on options that might work well for this type of project.Thank you in advance for your insights and assistance!

Also, I am considering alternative financing options (beyond Hard Money).

@Tom Rairdon If you’ve owned your short-term rental (STR) for over a year, it likely qualifies for long-term capital gains (LTCG) treatment, taxed at lower rates (0%-20%) compared to your 33% ordinary income bracket.
