Frankly, if there is no significant damage associated with the cat, then, there is nothing to haggle about or risk losing more money and time in court.

I imagine you would have absorbed the repairs caused by wear and tear over the time they inhabited the house.

The overall consensus in this thread is that you should just let it slide and move on to more important things. They have been good paying tenants and you are indeed thankful for their contributions.

Very good comments overall. The bottom line is....how many properties do you plan to own short and long term and what are your projected methods of purchasing them?

However, you have to recognize your financial limits and be able to sleep well at nights, which will eventually impact your "safe" W2.

@Linda Weygant - You are right on target with your references and response. Thanks you!

@Steve Hughes

Hey Steve,

                You posed an interesting question and I don't have a firm answer of my own, but, Google never fails. You can visit the link below for some insight. Plus, get additional details from the management regarding the rules and regulations that are in place.

Good luck.

@Rick S

Hey Rick, thanks for the added details. Frankly, I wasn't aware of that option for the use of cash.

It's not an issue with my tenants at this time, but, I will make a note of it and let them know in case they want to utilize this feature as well.

By the way, they love this service!

@Dan Haney

Hey Dan, welcome to the community! I recently joined too after years of corporate service. 

There are tons of stuff to keep you occupied on this site. Visit the learn section, listen to the podcasts, join the webinars, engage the community and you will be well on your way to enjoying REI.

Again, educate yourself and take action.

Good luck!

@Kevin Nalley

Hey Kevin,

I feel you pain. That happened to me late last year when another provider exited. 

Currently, I use www.erentpayment.com for my tenants. 

You can touch base with me if you have additional questions.

Setup can be done sameday.

Good luck.
