Great Video! I feel your pain. There is nothing more frustrating than when a tenant doesn't give you a heads up their moving out. I put on my leases "that are all month to month" that I need a 45-day notice on if they're moving out. Or I keep security deposits. I'm off to refinish some floors. I'll have to start uploading some videos. Love the content. I spend 1-2 hours on RU-vid a day just watching real estate videos lol. Give us more content! :)
Can't stand it when I get a text "Hey I moved out" Perfect Thanks for the heads up. I also like watching RU-vid. I have a lot recorded and am working on trying to get more efficient at editing.
I'm not even going to try to learn how to edit videos. Terrible at computer stuff like that. I'd rather pay someone to do it. Got any that could help me? lol @@handylandlord
Another great video. When this happens and it’s less then a couple of thousand dollars I just keep moving. Mostly I just consider my self lucky that I didn’t have to spend money to evict them. If the exiting tenants damaged the property were malicious etc., I would consider doing a skip trace it costs about $550 _ I mail a collection letter to all previous addresses. I look them up on Facebook sometimes and usually you can piece together what happened,
Thanks. Agree to just move on. Last year I had so many move outs. I started sending the outstanding balance to a debt collection company my attorney recommended. Has to be above 2k. Not sure if anyone has success suing or if I even want to waste my time.
We have tried the collection company, never gets anywhere with Section 8 resident. They vanish like a fart in the wind. Besure to file the lease violation with housing. Don't be a Ryobi hater. I am sure you know the quick (not necessarily legal) way to get those to ground. We spray the bases of all our sinks (kitchen and vanities) with black flex seal.
Interesting I have filed several with collection company. No luck so far. What I have learned from making RU-vid videos on section 8 properties is that all housing authority offices are ran different. I’ve been renting section 8 for 10 years and have never heard of filing a lease violation. I know the ground trick but I do not practice that method. I install 2 prong or gfci labeled no ground.
@@handylandlord Most inspection companies or directly employed inspectors in ATL will just flat flag an outlet that is 6ft to a water source that doesnt have/pop a GFI, no matter the label. The lease violation doesn't get you anything, but they might (if the HA does their job, big if) get terminated. The other big trick that many don't know is the Notice to Vacate (NTV), we'll save that for another time.
If you haven't sued before, you should do it just for the learning experience. I am going through my first small claims court lawsuit now. Serving was a pain because there were 3 tenants living there that moved to 3 different counties. Thier dog continuously peed on a brand new AC condenser and within 2.5 years it was junk. Plus they busted the shower walls, busted doors etc. Court date was pushed back, but my plan is to file wage garnishment after. In my state I can go after their state tax return too. They admitted guilt and I have it in writing so I can't see how I would lose. Also, it should be easier next time plus I'll have a better idea if it's worth it. Also, c'mon man a Ryobi can drill that hole on the low rpm setting.
I have not sued before. Definitely seems like a process, then u have to collect. I just went down the route of turning over unpaid balances to a collection company. Unsure if it’s worth my time, plan to keep trying. Good luck on your situation. That job was way too easy to bring out the powerful ryobi drill. Haha I ❤️ ryobi
@@handylandlord I couldn't get a collection agency to go after a debt. They all said they only handle large clients(property managers with hundreds of doors).
I work for 2 landlords and do my own repairs. One landlord I’ve worked for off and on going on 10 years. If I was looking for work I would call every number on rental signs in area I was wanting to work. If no answer leave number. Name spreads fast.
I have been renting my house for approx 14 1/2 years. I paint when needed, update what I can, keep house and yard clean, fix small repairs, I take good care of the house! I just don't do major repairs or maintenance, like outside painting etc.
