i'm not sure about your obligation to the tenant, but most tenting for termites use Vikane gas which leaves little to no residue or post-fumigation clean up. I recently tented our home and as we were educated by the company and additional research ,we did not need to wash clothes, dishes, furniture etc unless you were more comfortable doing it. We did light washing of some dishes/utensils only. If your tenting company is using Vikane, educate the tenant and they should be fine.

Yes, they will use Vikane. Mahalo for your feedback!

Quote from @Peter "Coop" Cooper:

ALoha,

In all of our standard leases, we have a clause that states we as the owners may want to termite treat the home while the tenant's lease in in place. We place a specific dollar amount for them using an Airbnb during that time - and that they will be responsible for working with us to comply with the fumigator's needs.

Thank you!

I have a rental property on the Big Island of Hawaii. I manage it myself.

I am in need of tenting the property for termites.

My tenant is very good, and compliant. He will need to take care of all his personal items in preparation for tenting.

However, am I obligated to pay for a Post-Fumigation cleanup????? Or must the tenant just suck it up and deal?

Thanks in advance!!

I'm trying to "crunch the numbers" in regards to the tax repercussions of selling my rental, and doing a 1031.

OR, moving back into it for 2 years and realizing the 250k tax break.

Trouble is, I bought this as raw land 30 years ago, took 20 years to owner build it. I have NO idea what my "Cost basis" is!!

It's been a rental for 10 years now.

Any thoughts? (Property is in HI, I reside in CA)

I'm a TOTAL newbie! I have been playing with the calculators, and having so much fun!

I think I found a great deal, but I'm not sure! I'm really excited, and want to act on it!

BUT, my FEAR holds me back! That, and lack of money! (I know the money can be found!)

Does anyone want to chime in with thoughts on this deal? It looks kind of rough. I'd be super grateful for your input!
