Glad to hear that I'm not alone with these problems. I have tenants who have had problems paying rent for the entire time they've been in the property. The house is in an arid climate. A few months ago, my tenant said the drywall was being damaged in a room by water. The only thing I could think of was the sprinkler system. I immediately called the gardener and within a day it was what I thought, the sprinkler was spraying on a window per the gardener. I told the tenant I needed to come and check / work on the drywall and he said no, it was drying up and didn't need to be addressed. Then, starting in January, the tenant became later and later on his rent every month. Never made any complaints, but when picking up a VERY late rent payment, the renter said they weren't paying the late fee because there were repairs needed. I told them no, I make the repairs (I am VERY vigilant about repairing things). Without the right tools I stopped what I was doing to begin some non-critical repairs. It was shortly there after I learned they had a large dog, which isn't allowed on the lease, and this may have been why they were building up problems and not telling me about them. Anyway, again the rent was overdue and I came back to work on the house. I learned that the tenant was going to try and set up a lawsuit after finding a hole in the wall and another place because they are using some slimy "renter advocate" to try and get a false positive. I'm concerned because companies like these make money from lawsuits. I'm betting they seed the samples and maybe the house with toxic mold.
