Some states have what they call "Just Cause Eviction" Basically these laws say you cannot refuse to renew a lease except based on certain condition. 

I am in the process of evicting a tenant who has refused to pay the increased rent and continues to stay in the rental unit past the lease expiration date (June 30th).

Hey BP Community,I’m actively exploring foreclosures, trustee sales, and off-market distressed properties in the DMV area (Montgomery County MD, Northern VA, and DC suburbs) for a primary residence and potential future investments.If you’re experienced with:Navigating court auctions or substitute trustee salesDealing with title risks, HOA liens, or pre-auction due diligenceSourcing off-market or non-MLS foreclosure leads…I’d love to connect and share resources, tools, or even partner on a deal.

A couple of things: We have been asked to provide or sign things by assistance programs where they were overstepping their bounds, and we had refused to work with them.

I know this space can be a different ball game compared to single-family, so I’m trying to soak up as much knowledge as possible and connect with others who have experience.If you have any insight, resources, or suggestions — whether it’s books, podcasts, YouTube channels, or just real-world lessons you’ve learned — I’d love to hear them.Appreciate any guidance you can share!

Some people like it because it can’t be changed later on if outside family suddenly shows up, but it also has Medicaid implications if she ever needs long-term care assistance.A softer approach could be having her give you a “right of first refusal,” meaning if she ever decides to sell, you get first dibs at matching the price. 

She refuses to clean and is offended at the thought that we think she needs to clean.   

He can't refuse to let you hire a property manager-hire one and tell the tenant he has to communicate with them. 

Many larger property management companies are refusing to provide rental verifications, and even when they do, the information can often be incomplete, inaccurate, or subjective.
