Liuba Soldatova Tenant asking for pest control to spray all backyard for bugs
6 June 2025 | 8 replies
Unless there's something like a visible ant hill, a wasp nest, or another clear safety issue, there's typically no need to treat the yard beyond regular lawn care — which it sounds like you're already handling.That said, I’d follow up with the tenants and ask for more detail about what they’re seeing.

That’s half the cost of Prime’s reduced rate.2nd, like everyone is saying, the cost of setting up and LLC is less than $100… closer to $50… if you just do it yourself through the state (not complicated).3rd, if you want someone to help you draft your operating agreement, hire a local real estate attorney and it will be significantly cheaper than $1660… probably cheaper than $550.4th, if you want someone to do your taxes and help you get your max deductions - talk to a CPA who specializes in real estate and they can review your operating agreement to see if you’re setting yourself up properly, and they can do your regular taxes… and be cheaper than Prime. 5th, a separate CPA can work with you regularly to review your investments and strategies to determine good tax strategies as you look to execute any deals. 6th - don’t lock yourself into a crazy subscription model before you start making money!!!

Even though the tenant tried to close the door manually during the power outage, it's difficult to know for sure if the lifting cable was already weakened from regular use over time.Unless there's clear proof of negligence by the tenant, the landlord generally holds the responsibility for repairs.Information regarding the age of the garage door and whether the tenant has caused similar maintenance issues in the past could be helpful in determining responsibility.
