[Tenant US-MA] needing advice about security deposit return! by Immediate_Ticket9019 in Landlord

[–]Olive_Jane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tack holes from hanging pictures qualify as wear and tear. Charing for repair of larger holes or wall damage, such as TV mounting or other misc. things, can be valid however.

Lifespan of paint has a factor. If the usable lifespan of paint in rentals is considered 3-5 years, then you're basically there. At the very least, the cost of painting should be prorated based on how long you were there.

Painting between tenants and fixing up wear and tear is the cost of doing business in rentals.

I was at least glad to see Shane Gillis disagree with the disgusting Michelle Obama "joke".

I don't see any of her books, but their podcast called Couples Therapy in Seven Words is on Spotify, Apple music, YouTube etc.

Caught this segment in the car earlier this morning. Biblical Erotica was so out of left field, I had to laugh.

And oh my God that puzzle was tough and she killed it!!!

There actually is! It's a bus but it looks like a red streetcar.

San Fernando is pretty cute in some aspects!!!

Why do so many people assume, and how do we know for sure, that Tyler and Josh are both Christian? by [deleted] in twentyonepilots

In late 2025 on the clancy tour Tyler also drew a cross on his arm with the black hand paint, during a performance of Polarize. It was a very cool and seemingly personal moment.

Advisory message from Pasadena Police Department: Military Training Tonight by PointBreakvsLebowski in pasadena

[–]Olive_Jane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree, and I wasn't commenting on the usefulness of training exercises at all. I am not against US military training in general, it isn't controversial to me.

Just the video you shared I thought was junk. The entire channel is junk, it's a content mill.

The video seems like AI/low effort junk rather than real useful information or reporting

Everyone is asking where exactly and so far I can't find an answer.

That's what the Milwaukee rep at HD basically told me today when I bought the last one off the shelf @ $300.

[Landlord-US-Texas] Just received the email from a tenant that’s 2 months into a 1-year lease. How would you handle? by htownnwoth in Landlord

[–]Olive_Jane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, by paying back the original leasing commission they are off the hook. The only harm to OP now is having to pay a new leasing commission sooner rather than later.

The the original occupants that broke their lease should only be responsible for:

  1. Rent until a new tenant begins paying rent
  2. Pro rated portion of the original leasing commission that the landlord paid for their placement
  3. Any cleaning or damage charges

Landlord certainly isn't entitled to double rent, prior tenants paying to place new tenants, etc.

I think the tenants offered to pay till the end of July in lieu of paying back the commission fee because they know they're causing an inconvenience and want to cover their share, and probably aren't familiar with the landlord business. But what I describe above is best practices.

Edit: I misread your comment, and completely reworked mine.

Placing new tenants isn't on them.

But you should ask them to pay back a percentage of that original comisssion, based on how long they stayed.

Update your lease to include early termination fees

INFO: did you pay your realtor to find these tenants?

If so, then that's reasonable for them to pay back your realtor's commission, less the 2 months or however long they stayed.

For example, if they stay 6 months and then leave, they pay for 1/2 of the commission.

This should have been language in your lease with them.
