My tenant has been renting from me for a 2 and a half years and did not upkeep the water softener system installed. The unit itself does not work now due to running without salt and majority of my faucets and fixtures have build up on it. The system was 5k and in our lease agreement it speaks about upkeep of the unit.

My tenant will be moving out soon and upon inspection and walkthrough of the unit, I realized the unit is not functioning. I had a technician come in to try to mitigate the issue and they said because the system has been running without salt there is long term resin bead damage of the system and it would need to be replaced. Should I charge my tenant this damage or just take it as a loss?

He’s been a horrible tenant and I’m just glad to be rid of him.

This might be a dumb question, but I have only ever PCA’d throughout my career and want to know if my spouse has to go with me to my next assignment. She has secured a really good job in the area and we are good with commuting back and forth to see each other and have done long distance in the past due to work situations.

I guess why I am asking is because someone had mentioned that she has to go with me if she’s on my orders etc. But I feel like people do this all the time. Seriously just asking for some guidance because I really don’t know what to do or if I have to request the assignment unaccompanied.

Thanks for the guidance.
