When it is spring and the utility company may finally shut off the power for their nonpayment since last October/November. The bill is now in the high hundreds and they have no intention of paying. Also, they usually come up with reasons about Jan/Feb why they can't pay the rent either. --75.7.xx.xx

Tenant is leaving when they think I am their personal maintenance man on 24 hour call. You want the gardener to come twice a week to rake the leaves, your windows get wet when the sprinklers come on and it’s windy you start to become a royal pita. --99.23.xxx.x

I know how frustrating it can be when a property issue pops up whether it’s a leak, damage, or something tenants can’t live with until it’s fixed. The time, cost, and stress add up quickly. I work with a trusted maintenance and restoration service that helps landlords take care of these problems quickly and at fair pricing. If anyone here is dealing with that right now, I’d be glad to help. --36.50.xxx.xxx

My family used to joke that it was when all the light bulbs burned out. It was easier to move than it was to change the light bulbs. I used to get the houses back with dead bulbs in every light.

Now, my tenants are, all of them, moving when they buy a house. I expect it to happen. They are pretty good about giving notice and they usually don't stay for long. The downside of well qualified tenants. I don't get much damage, but I have frequent turn-overs. --76.178.xxx.xxx

I mentioned that above Ray.

Had a tenant who missed his payment. I texted, he was travelling from the big city but would make it back in time to deposit the funds.

Then I get a text from another tenant showing the U-Haul pulled up next to the shared porch.

I was close by so I drove over. Tenant's eyes opened wide. I told him I was about to call the police because I knew he was out of town and people were stealing his stuff.

It was comical to watch him squirm. --47.248.xxx.xxx
