1. 告知大概的cost （painting inside and outside plus fence), for example $15k, the rent will be increased $300/month compared to your original proposed rent. So you can cover your cost in 4 to 5 years.
2. If she does not like the rent hike, then go for your original proposed rent.
3. If no signing before a deadline, you will consider this as lease non-renewal. Put everything in writing and send her a new lease renewal addendum.
很多的房客对于房子的维护开支没有概念， 或者根本不关心房东要花多少钱。 把她的房租跟你的开支结合起来， 这也reasonable。 Better living condition of course will translate into higher rent. 她如果不想付高房租， 当然不能提太多过高的要求。
1. Use MLS or Zillow to find the comps for your house, and show your tenant the current market rent. Whenever you have a relative big jump of your rent, do this to calm down your tenants.
2. Always increase your rent every year in a small amount, instead of increasing it in a large sum. Usually tenants will not move out due to 2-3% of rent increase.
3. For those high maintenance tenants, let them know that rent level is always associated with your cost. If your maintenance cost is too high, you have no choice but to increase rent significantly in the future.
有一个房客，交租准时， 要求有点多。
Renew 下一年 lease， 沟通过几次， 都不理睬， 还有两天过期， 给我了很长的修理单子，还要我把房子里外油漆 + replace fence。
我给了她 的 房租 比市场低， 房子状况很好， 我告诉她 60 天 搬出去。（60 days notice)
她要去告我， 说她要求修房， 我让她搬家， it is retaliation. Can't evict her because of that.
她现在愿意付我原来给的价， 但我现在不想给她低价房租。
还让住吗？怎末处理？求建议
我没有签字， 虽然房租价是我最初建议的。
真没地方住， 可能真的要找我拼命。
Rental is very hot locally.
加州保护房客，十月一号前还不能赶人。房东都不想留一个麻烦，还准备告你的房客吧
这是一个讨价还价的过程， 没必要搞僵。

Hope it helps!
我最烦租客不回信息，这样的人我不续约。你现在是在讨价还价的时候，你涨租，她让你修东西。你俩能谈拢最好，谈不拢有啥大不了的？她说告你，凭什么？还有她说告你，你就怕了？让她去，看她能告出个所以然？你是房主，你说了算。别把自己弄得像个受气的小媳妇
最近房价上涨历害， 也带动房租上升不少。估计你这次房租调升的辐度比正常大一点 （My guess, 不一定对）， 但又没有跟房客解释一下市面上的房租状况， 所以房客心里不舒服， 给你列了一个长长的维修清单。
沟通很重要！！！！

不下雨。他们自己心里也没底，也舍不得那法庭费用。
