@Mindy Jensen I am always present even if the tenants are home, I want to see what they do, no matter if it takes few hours I am there. 

By law posting the require notice, I can legally go into the unit. I usually will not if the the tenant expresses that they would prefer not to.

@Lora P. I'm not sure, I would always put 650+ but two months ago, one of my listing was removed due to the credit score being there as requirement, I was shocked, since I've been putting it for the last 5 years or so.

no, it's a waste of time if they don't like the property or if they don't qualify.

I have paper applications or they can fill out an application on line. 

right now I'm escrow for 8 new buildings. Totaling in 140 units. Economy right now it seems a bit strong

Thank you, for your advise I will try this out when I get work requests.

I agree I have a key, I will just need to post a 24/48 hour notice of intent of entering premises.

Thank you, I don't like ignoring, i like taking care of my issues promptly, to keep the tenant happy and the property in good state. But I love this idea of they want a different hour I'll bill them for the after hours subcharge and I pay the reminder 

I agree

I agree, with you people want to be present and I don't mind, that I have several buildings and half of them tell me I need to be there... I did get a text back saying OK.

My issue is they want me to accommodate them by making appointments after 5 when they get of work... which most vendors charge extra because it falls under after hours, my in house handymans work from 9-5 every day except weekends. 

If they want to be there fine, but they need to accommodate to our work hours. That's my opinion

"Property listings may not include language that violates the Fair Housing Laws. Please remove the offending language can't include credit score."

I was told that putting a credit score minimum, is Fair Housing violation.

So now I put the following

Must have good credit, 

Must make 3x the rent

Must provide verifiable income proof

No Evictions, bankruptcy, judgements

2 per room + 1

I just bought a 12 unit complex in Studio City, the previous landlords were not keeping up the property. 

When I took over I was bombarded with maintenance requests, which I told them "Okay, I will put this is in, and I will have someone out here tomorrow or the following day between 9-4" their response "Can you do another day, in the evening?" So it's frustrating they want to be present, I had an HAVC tech check out an AC, he knocked on a tenant door, he told her I'm here to check the AC, she responded "I don't have an appointment with you, you may not come in" i had texted her about the AC two days prior.

Is it fine if I ignore complaints, from those people who request things but then don't want me or my vendors to come in?

This is a non-rent control property... should I just do a hefty rent increase to kick them out.. or just give her a 60 day notice to move?

How to deal with tenants that do not want you to enter without them being present?
