Is anyone familiar with this builder? Looking at a property; they may be small and new but thought I’d throw it out there for feedback if by chance someone knows anything about this company. Thanks!

Good morning. I got a mailer from Great Jones property management. Seem to have an interesting business model and he was at the BiggerPockets convention when he returned my call (good sign). Anyone use this company?

I’ve never been faced with this situation (been doing this eight years) and have a lease written by Florida attorneys specifically for our state. The paper she signed and even the lease itself simply states “security deposit”. Talk about lesson learned. Thanks for all your comments. To me, nonrefundable indicates the tenant never gets it back (like the nonrefundable pet fee I have) so I can see why it’s written that way. It’s technically not nonrefundable.

Hello BP members. I collected a $1125 deposit for a single family home to hold a house for a prospective tenant. It’s been a month since she applied and a few weeks since I got the deposit. Her move-in date kept getting pushed out (it’s a couple weeks late at this point). Would you refund the entire deposit or how do I handle this? Thanks in advance!

Thank you everyone! This is what I was told and thought appreciate the confirmation.

I recently purchased a SFH that has a washer hookup but no dryer hookup. The homeowner was using a clothes line to dry her garments. Does a dryer always need a 220 outlet? Even the units that are all-in-one? Appreciate any guidance!

@Ned J. I’ve done all of the above except the contact my lawyer part. My other tenant just renewed her lease for another year even with an increase. She balances out this witch I’m dealing with. I refuse to speak with her via phone and only talk to her through text messages so it’s documented to the T.

@Colleen F. good idea; I’ll call them now and try that.

@Theresa Harris agreed. Thanks so much for your help. You’ve all contributed to helping me navigate this situation. Reminds me there’s good people out there when I feel like there aren’t due to this. It beats you down.

@Theresa Harris I totally agree that’s what she’s doing. The electric company will not give me her bills I tried. She’s got 7 months of apparent hell for me left.
