well, we talked to an attorney 6 months ago for an eviction and the tenant brought the rent current at that time. now the tenant is late again, and according to attorney, it's not easy to set up a case if tenant is only late for 5 days. ( we can charge late fee for that so ).
we just get to know the last month water bill, very surprised but quite common of a pissed off tenant abusing water.
right, unfortunately i can't requeset to turn off water in philly.
not sure how to get it back after evict them.

I have a rental property in Philadelphia and the tenant was late with rental for 2 months, we decided to evict the tenant have a court date at beginning of next month.
now we received a large water bill for last month, over $700 in a month for a 1200 sqft townhouse.
is there an option I can do now? in Philadelphia, water is the landlord's responsibility. can I request to shut it off?

i'm selling 3 of my rental properties that i have been holding for 3 years.
my question is , if i'm buying a bigger residential house first, and 4 months later this year, i sold these 3 rental properties, and use the proceeds to pay towards my residential house mortgage, will that avoid any tax?
