When we finally decided to fire him, it almost seemed as if he was relieved, and because we were able to keep a good line of communication and mutual respect, the premature ending of the contract went well.

These places really do need a power washing because it is littered with gum, dirt, liquid stains and so on and really does make the places look terrible but these landlords will not budge on getting it done but will happily spend a a couple thousand a month on landscapers to trim bushes and cut the grass every week.

This will prevent premature trips to the UAE!

(LOL)I disagree with all the people that suggest this is a problem tenant that must be gotten rid of ASAP - a bit premature for that conclusion IMO.It could be the new tenant is attempting to be helpful by pointing out there are faulty stairs, and if she ends up getting hurt because of that, the likely result is a lawsuit from her to the landlords, which in fact it is.

I understand your perspective in finding a GC before identifying the house but this might be too pre mature.
