My wife and I have a rental property (dammit).
Condo I wish we had sold, but she insisted we hang onto it.
We pay a realtor to 'manage' it since we live about 1.5hrs away.
Realtor contacted us today, fridge died. No worries, I'll get on the phone and schedule delivery of a new fridge. It's the weekend, so might be a few days. I offered to deliver a working mini-fridge, same day.
Now realtor says tenant claims he has $500 worth of food in fridge (yea right). And wants to be put up in a hotel (yea right). And might hold back $500 from next month's rent (yea right).
My take on things: any spoilt food (gold leaf ice cream?) is a renters insurance claim...
Alternate housing? this guy can go screw...
If he withholds rent?, it'll come out of his security deposit on the back end...
What say the LR?
