@Thomas Gagnon Holy crap!!!

Come to the live free or die state of NH!!! We have incredibly balanced tenant/landlord laws neither really has more power than the other. On the rare occasion I need to evict, which is very very rare, I can pull it off, turn over the unit and have a new tenant in place before the next month, I take the security for the lost month and I'm out $125 for the eviction filing, LOVE NH

Unless your Tenant Appeals it!

@Rich N. 2. Do not even charge the security deposit because the rules/requirements and penalties associated with it is so damaging (treble damages). There is like 5 steps for move in and move out and if you mess up either one of the 5, the tenant can go after you for treble damages.

If you've got rentals then it's a business and I find the Security Deposit is very effective to keep my places in decent shape. and it ain't that complicated to handle a Security Deposit.

@Jimmy Calvin Welcome. You could knock on doors?

or we could find them for you, get them under agreement, buy them, fix them up and sell them for you, keeping our profit for ourselves of course.
