Tape measure and flashlight are good choices for him. Thanks!

I want to get a present for someone who just passed his sales associate real estate exam. This has been a long time coming for him in dealing with many roadblocks and hurdles. This individual has successfully been doing property management through a company that has supported him in addition to his off-line unrelated real estate duties that he successfully continues to manage. I’d like to get him a present, reflecting his success at passing his exam and moving into a new exciting venture but I’m not sure what that would be.

Any ideas?

How about instituting something for property tax increase control and insurance increase control I guess they’re not interested in those topics.

I didn't read every post but was a smart thermostat recommended? One that you, yourself can set and control at any time from your phone?

 and are they expensive?

This is a nice feature but I wonder how could this be used in a rental when it requires wifi? It would require using the tenants wifi if that were possible and not likely something one would want to do.

 I’m not trying to evict for what happened with the search warrant. That was just a back story of events that occurred. I have good reason for terminating the lease and have already consulted an attorney I was able to find.  They are by no means innocent in this case.

 I put in a claim under the regular policy insurance, and of course the insurance company sent an adjuster who undervalued the repair damage. The vendor that I signed on with, in addition to other quotes, have all said the needed repairs would be more because there were things that the adjuster left out and did not understand the nature of what was needed, thereby attaching a low value for repairs. The damage was caused as a result of tenant actions who was also given a termination notice violating a clause in the lease contract. 

Two things 

1-The tenants attorney sent a letter to the PM who forwarded the letter to me stating that the tenant wanted to remain in the property and feels that this clause has no merit for termination.

2-if the claim that I put in under the regular policy insurance does not cover the damages. Would this be something that is covered under the umbrella.

in both of these cases, would these be something that my umbrella would cover, paying for an attorney to fight the termination and also paying what would not be covered if the company holding the regular policy will not cover the damages, even though the regular policy has sufficient coverage i.e. the limits that are stated in the policy should far and above cover what is being asked for repair.

Hi

Short back story:

Search warrant served and tenant refused to open door resulting in police using force (they did knock first) that caused considerable damage to property.

Termination (90-day) notice served to tenant who has now solicited an attorney to remain in the property. A letter was sent to the PM who shared it with me. Of course tenant attorney says there is no cause, tenant pays and there is no merit to the termination.

Termination letter served (sent by PM 90 days prior that puts end date at 2/29/2024) is based on a lease paragraph stating tenant did not abide by lease regarding “agrees no drugs or other illegal substances will be used, manufactured, sold, or distributed, on, or from the property.” This was broken by the tenants minor son who was arrested at the property when police raided the unit due to drugs found at the property. A search and seizure warrant was signed off and issued for tenants son who resided at my property from evidence I assume acquired by law enforcement.

Need eviction attorney recommendation:

This started out as a termination for the lease clause mentioned above. With the tenant now looking for a way to remain (hence tenants attorney letter on their behalf), the end date would be 2/29. If the tenant remains after that date, does this now turn into an eviction - and if so, what cause, the original reason of drugs or the fact tenant did not vacate or both? The PM generally handles evictions but it didn’t start out as an eviction. If the PM attorney will not follow though then I need to find an eviction or other attorney to work in my interest.

I feel I need to say more but do not want to inundate the post. Trying to keep it simple.

Cheers….
