Those prices sound reasonable to me.

If it's the toilet and/or bathroom sink run new pipes straight down through the floor instead of in the walls. No need to open up the walls. Leave the old pipes in the walls.

I have my tenants do it. I tell them that when I show it. It's part of renting the apartment/house.

I print both sides.

Scumlords always prove they will not fix anything. That will not change. Save yourself any more aggrevation and move.

It must be in their name before I will sign a lease. The power co. work with LL. I have a portal set up. I go online and can see who's name it's under. I can also put it in their name or take it out of their name. When they move and shut it off it automatically goes in my name and does not get shut off, my choice. Call your power co. and see what they will do for you.

Wow. I stand corrected.

20 year olds will not have a 600 score so keep that in mind. 30 year olds are a different story.

It's MTM. I bought the duplex last Aug. I gave 30+ days notice that rent would go up, Oct 1 by $75. He wasn't happy. It was at least $150 below. And I told him at that time that Jan.1 it will go up another $25. When I got the check for Jan. he didn't include the increase. I called him and he was PO'd at me and said he wasn't paying it. We talked a bit and he said he would pay. This past week he said he had to replace the garage door spring. He knew he was supposed to call me for everything. I told him I needed to see the old part, new part and receipt. He said he would email me a picture. I said no. I need to stop by and see it. I told him to call me when he gets out of work and I will stop by. He said ok. Less than an hour later he calls and he wants to forget about it, he didn't want to jump through all the hoops and it will be on him. He said he was trying to do me a favor so I wouldn't have to drive all that way to stop by. Keep in mind two weeks earlier he was all PO'd at me. There's a little more to it but he was planning on moving before all this so I would like him to move when it's convenient for me at the end of March rather than when it is for him which is who knows when. So I'm giving him 60+ days to move. The law requires 30 days with no reason. I'm just looking for ideas for the wording of the letter. Thank you all for your ideas. Keep em coming.

Thanks. I'm not sure if using the word "please" is asking them to leave vs telling them to leave. More comments please.
