I agree, you shouldn`t worry to much. I have been doing this for over 25 years and have never had any issues with existing or past Tenants. Besides, you were comfortable with your decision to trust them with your biggest invest to date, have faith in that they aren`t the "postal" type lol

QUOTE (agrog @ Jun 23 2010, 09:24 PM) ... think I`m just going to leave this one alone. I know if I tell it will come back to haunt me. I just hope no fire breaks out and that the person who buys this house fixes it. In what way can it come back to "haunt" you? I only ask because I am...

If it were me I would advise the authorities. The other option should something happen would be something I couldn`t live with. But to each there own, this is simply my opinion. Good Luck

QUOTE (wgraham @ May 4 2010, 04:12 PM) Hello all, As my current property manager doesn`t seem to be actively managing my property it is time for a switch up. I am looking for a tenant placement company to help with a vacancy and not the day to day management (unless someone has a PM that they...

Tenants are expected to keep their home in a reasonable state at all times. Now what is reasonable to you may not be reasonable to your Tenant. So if you feel they are not keeping the unit in a standard of cleanliness you expect let them know. a sink full of dirty dishes wouldn`t concern me to...

Nature`s Miracle can be picked-up at most pet stores, it is good for removing cat odors. Or you can try 50% water & 50% vinegar, clean the area with this and then after absorbing most of the solution pour baking soda over the area and rub it in. After it has dried vacuum the area very well. But...

QUOTE (investmart @ Jun 3 2010, 10:39 PM) with N11 you can relatively easily get an order from the board that you can take to the sheriff for eviction if tenant does not move out. imagine what you have to go through in order to evict a tenant without N11 IF tenant does not want to leave! There...

Hi, sorry but we are booked solid for quite awhile but I might suggest Norm`s Handyman Service he has a good reputation. You can also try the website www.handycanadian.com but be sure to check the member out good before you committing. There a few fly-by-night companies on there. Good Luck

QUOTE (bizaro86 @ Jun 3 2010, 08:29 AM) If I was on your condo board, I would be more concerned about electric than gas, because of the potential for overloading electrical that wasn`t designed such use. You may need to install a new circuit of your main circuit breaker, depending on what you go...

First, not that I am the forum police lol but this is an interesting question and should be started in its own thread. Hijacking another thread will not bring it the attention it deserves. To answer your question, I am owner operator of Property Solution (management) as well as the owner of a...

I actually have an electric fireplace for my own home for no other reason than I am afraid of fires almost to a fault. lol But I must admit they are not near as nice as the actual wood burning or gas one. But If I was putting one into a rental unit it would be gas hands down.

I have had the same situation a few years ago and when I talked with social services they said they could not intervene unless the client asked for help. Their reasoning was that we cannot dictate how a Tenant lives if they are living in what they consider comfort. Now the biggest difference...

Ultimately, I believe each owner has to assess their own situation and the PM should not take offense or be surprised if the owner requests to be consulted. Not to mention that the PM should supply the owner with copies of the Lease, Move-in/out inspection, any addendum and the application.

QUOTE (nepoez @ May 30 2010, 12:41 AM) I`ve recently had a tenant that ran away and left substantial damages to the townhouse. My property manager said they will take them to court to pay for the damage and rent. Has anyone had their property manager do that for them before, and can they really...

I`m not to sure where you were going with that post because you lost me when I started getting an overwhelming craving for a big mac and coke!!! LOL

That reminds me... I use to do all my own small claims but haven`t done one in a few years but I made sure that I got the Tenants vehicle information with their application and when the situation was right I would simply seize their vehicle. Provided the vehicle is not leased this was always an...

QUOTE (JohnS @ May 28 2010, 01:55 AM) ... I like the idea of evoking emotion, as so many other ads don`t do it... JohnS There may be a reason for that. Every market is different, economy plays a big part.

QUOTE (invst4profit @ May 27 2010, 08:10 PM) Small claims is definitely the route to go. The courts will garnish there wages if they have any or will ever have any and the mark will follow them for many years and can be extended. They are criminals and should be hunted down. I am not familiar...

QUOTE (investmart @ May 27 2010, 08:18 PM) What prevents your tenants from canceling their insurance policy shortly after sending you the proof? or do you not care since you do this for your insurance company? Thanks. Its been my experience that because the cost of renter`s insurance is so...
