The tenants on a 2 year lease left after 8 months saying that they left for Mexico and not coming back. The unit is empty mostly and left car in the driveway what to do ?

I am renovating an old house for rental and one question keeps coming back is whether to replace the old solid wooden doors with the new cardboard doors ? The door knobs of a few needs replacement and as they are not the standard thickness can’t use the new privacy knobs. Does it affect appraisals if the old doors are painted and used ? I think old doors can last much longer. What do you do for your properties?

@Dan Talmi plumbing issues mostly, HVAC, rarely trip off electric panel, roof leaks sometimes.

@Phillip Rosin which software you use for the 3D drawings ?

@CJ M. Awesome idea of adding the texts to the notice. I have all those and emails.

@CJ M. Thanks for the steps of action. What is bothering is the communication block that the tenants are trying to put and putting us in risk to go talk to them and expecting us to be considerate in return. I get it is difficult time but not communicating is not going to help.

@John Underwood thanks for the suggestion

One of our tenants in a single family didn’t want to pay the rent last month itself but when went to collect finally after several reminders gave. It is again rent time and they owe us utilities money for the last 3 months but have stopped picking up calls. I don’t want to unnecessarily expose and go talk to them. They are reading all text messages but not responding. Last month they were saying their friends were saying no one is paying the rent. How are you dealing with these situations? Can we post any notice to pay rent ? Since no evictions what can be done just wait ? They moved in late last year I did complete rehab of the property and they are keeping it in very bad shape last I saw 😥. What is bothering me is that they are trying to misuse as were saying last time going to talk to their lawyers don’t know what for how to avoid paying rent ?

Has anyone received PPP loan in the last round ? Can you please guide the process. Is it via the bank where you have the business account or online process ?

@Brian Van Pelt I thought we can’t file evictions now ?
