Too true, Mike.  I fight the unfortunate image of Property Management all the time.

My agreement has a $250 reserve.  If any vendor thinks the job will exceed what I budget in their work order, they have to get approval before doing it, or I don't pay the overage.

I recommend learning landlord-tenant laws for your state and community.

In Texas, a landlord does not have to make repairs of any kind if rent is unpaid.

The tenant also must give adequate notice before initiating a rent strike, and the tenant must allow reasonable time for the repairs before striking. 

I would proceed with eviction and and at least in Texas, would be sure of these rules for my case.

Jay,  if you can't get them on the phone, or even if you do, oral agreements turn into he said-she said arguments.  Written offers, notices, warnings.  Always.

Writing. Certified nail return receipt or proof of delivery.

Is oils let them know it's not optional, new lease or notice.
