Hi Jennifer -

My name is Jon and I am a Regional Director at ClickNotices. Sorry this is a few months after your question, but I have a few suggestions on improving the properties you manage. The quickest change is to address delinquency head on. That's where my company helps. If you are interested, let me know and we can discuss how ClickNotices can help. Check out our website at clicknotices.com. Thanks!

Requalify at renewal

I've had a similar situation with a judge before. Not sure where you're located or the law there, but where I am you can file a motion to have you're cases heard under another judge in a neighboring district.

PM me if you want. I was in that situation before. 1st start with delinquency. 2nd review criteria. 3rd stick to the Rules

Also, let the local police know what you are doing, and invite them to stop by anytime for coffee, or a place to write their reports. Nothing like police cars in the area to help with the crime.

Make sure you have a good, frank discussion with the property owner and find out their goals. If they want to clean up the property, then you need to do a small "budget" showing them the costs, higher vacancy losses, and your plan to improve. They will also want to see what you forecast to be their numbers once the property is cleaned up and new residents are in place. Good luck! Property turnarounds are not easy, but they can be done.
