    Tenant left with a big hydro bill

    If the hydro bill was addressed to his name I would not even bother calling them, because you actually are not allowed to open his letters. Why did you? My tenants who left a couple weeks ago were receiving letters, too. I was returning them to sender mentioning on the envelope that they dont...

    Greg, this is awesome! I have an email from one tenant, the second told it on the phone but would give it in written manner too. Are two tenant emails enough?

    Beating wife? Quick help requested.

    I agree that there will be always trouble with them. I really am thinking of cashing them out for the safety and calm sake of the other tenant. One complaint about the week end incident. The rent was paid cash so far.

She came to the door too and I mentioned if they sorted out their difficulties. They didn`t, but they will go to counseling. She didnt find the...

    Can tenant legally obstruct electrical work?

    QUOTE (invst4profit @ Mar 25 2009, 03:33 PM) ......I think with the rent as low as it is you need to find a way to get ride of her permanently.
