@Thomas S.At the confrontation, I had the sense something was off. Ive had the property for 3 years and he is an inherited tenant. I feel that you are correct. "Working" with him will result in my loss. Thank you!

@Colleen F.I need to get my back up. Thanks.

Yeah that is a lease violation for me.

Thought so

@Patrick Liska Im looking at a compromise. Thx.

@Wesley W. The lease says alterations without written permission.

@Sen A.That makes sense. I got to get moving on this situation.

@Ryan Dosseyhas become a challenge. I check out tenant/landlord laws. But the lease prohibits changes without written permission.

@Nathan GesnerI do feel as if I'm being tested. This is far more serious than I anticipated.

@Anthony WickI did not realize letting him violate the lease with cause additional problems. Letter in the works. Thanks 

Hi,

During an inspection, I found that a tenant put padlocks on all rooms with doors without permission. He said that it is his right to have locks if contractors, etc enter his unit. Additionally, he will not provide me with keys.

1. He acknowledges that he did not receive written permission.

2. He says he has a right for the protection of his property.

Is this right?

3. I replied that if I don't have access to those rooms, and there is some sort of emergency, he would be held liable.

Is that right?

Its my only property and I am manage it.

How have similar landlords handed providing protection for tenant's property and privacy with landlord's having full access to every room in a unit?

Thanks!

Does the tenant have the right to refuse to give the landlord a key to the bathroom?

Hi, 

If there were handouts or other materials from the presentation, please send to [email protected].   It is appreciated.

 Has an appraiser given the value of the home?  Has the home inspection shown that the property needs about 35 to 40K? Could repair etc. come in less than 35K?

 Thank you. I understand the process better.

Hi. One of my vacant rentals tested positive for lead dust. The test was conducted by a certified person in Philadelphia. He explain that to remove the dust, I could clean the areas very well. Next I am to have him come out to retest and get a certificate. I must do this to rent the unit. Is this all that is required to remove lead dust? Thanks. 

How to clean lead dust? My apartment tested positive at the windows that appear recently installed. Pass 10 years. The lead tester said possibl y it's coming from the pocket doors at the opening of the room. The apartment building is maybe 100 years old. Any advice would be appreciated. 

Why does section 8 list close? I'm in Philadelphia Pa
