James, there is nothing cheap about co-star!!!! They are very proprietary. I pay heavily for that and also for Crexi. I recommend signing up if you think that you will utilize their resources more and more

Need to kilz and paint again, and possibly another time. That much smoke is hard to deal with! Only had to do this a couple of times with heavy smokers. I actually did an ozone machine first, then removed carpet and pad, treated the floor with special enzyme cleaner. I did have to replace some of the drywall at one unit because it would have been useless to kilz and paint

Joshua,

We have dealt with section 8 on behalf of one of our hedge funds, and when the hedge fund took their sweet time making repairs, Section 8 never paid for that back rent. Sorry, it’s just the way it works

File a police report, and definitly talk and/or go and visit his case worker. It is unsafe and not habitable to live without utilities.

@Jessica Young 

Couple of notations;

If they do not give a forwarding address, you only need to send my certified mail to their lady known address.

Secondly, you ONLY have 30 days from date of move out in which to send the certified mail making a claim on their deposit. If you miss that time window, you must, by law, send them back every penny 

Tick tock, get that out there to their last known adddress right away

OMG, move on from these people. You have tried to work with them. Keep before and after photos from their move in/move out, then do before and after photos of the countertop repair, do the repair, deduct from their deposit and move on

I agree overall, but I specifically want to know the answers to the questions I put in bold/ital, reassurance that I'm correct on those things, which I assume I am. I engage with them the bare legal minimum. 

 You are correct on all your questions!
