Furnished Rental Question

[Anonymous]

I guess I wrote off furniture as a bad decision to leave.

But my only questionable area I had beautiful antique piece of furniture in dining room for display, art work on walls those things don’t have a life expectancy and should not have ever been even touched by renters. I guess I cross my fingers.

I have heard my complex for first time is getting lots and lots of kids where we traditionally had near zero. The young couples and young singles who traditionally bought or rented then moved on once married with kids are trapped. They can’t move on.

We are all in new territory as landlords as we are used to 2-4 years then flip, now we have 8-12 year tenants. I usually update, repair, paint between tenants. Now you have to deal with painting, changing appliances , HVAC and water heater maint with tenant in place and during Covid the people working from home at same time. Interesting times.

Are they going to renew the lease or not?
On the positive side long staying renters save you money from turnover costs.
