GET GOING ON EVICTION NOW

As an investor if there is a sitting tenant with a lease that lasts longer than a month, i run as fast as i can to escape the nightmare. You guys need to WAIT IT OUT hopefully they will leave when their lease expires. THEY HAVE TO it’s called a natural expiration. And I'm told in state of CO you dont need to tell them why you're not renewing !!!!!! MYOB

Tenant owes you nonrefundable animal deposit like $500 per year AND since its a puppy will be very destructive so you need to increase the security deposit to account for all the damage to your unit. Hope your lease was clear on this, you can evict.

Also the urine damage is disgusting if you use luminol to show it.

Didnt the builder do any landscaping? Did you get a break on price or terms?

These are great answers. My screening starts with my rental ad where I don't allow animals which are a huge source of rental destruction. The initial contact requires them to complete the rental application and very few are able to do it, so they self-disqualify. The applicants who can complete the simple application will be invited to view the rental. It’s extremely time-consuming and demanding, but so far has produced class A+++ tenants. The one I’m worried about made the decision to put the junker truck in storage, so he read my mind. I was going to ask him to do that anyway. Now on to his next lease violation which is tracking grease into the house from his “hobby” of motorcycle repair. Yes guys, I understand, I need to let him have his garage full of distressed stuff. The next lease will forbid such use of the garage, yard, house, etc. I saw an apt in a 4plex with a motorcycle in parts in the living room on a nice carpet and no underlayment.

The fact that I chose them as tenants to enjoy my beautiful property and my kindness as a LL is more than enough! Plus I have some welcome cards I put the key and remote in the envelope wishing them smooth sailing (hidden meaning: no late rent).

I’m not gonna start pushing booze they may be in recovery and its insulting to give any type of addictive substance even chocolates are out. They owe me $$$ for my time and expense determining their viability as tenants.

If i did STR i would leave a bottle of bathroom cleaner and a toilet brush with a bow on it.

 Its a fascinating old mining town, many people lived on top of the mine and could hear the blasting noises … hardly anything to do there but its pretty scenery. (I assume its the one in Colorado)

If you get a chance, visit Fairplay and some of the other old mining/gambling locations.

I hate hotels and would always choose Airbnb or the other one our experience has been just fine and priced right. Its better when the owner is living there too just in case of a problem. We have food restrictions so eating out is really difficult its healthier to cook our own with an occasional treat in a fancy place where they don't mind adjusting the menu. Also probably safer and usually no parking expense … altho we are extremely picky before we pay.
