a renter of my vacation property wants to sue me?

Posted on Mar 12, 2010 under vacation properties | 3 Comments

this renter is not happy with my vaction rental and wants a partial refund. I have already discounted the price two times. they have visited the property before and knew what they were getting and now claim it is not as advertised. what do I do?

You can cover yourself by going in person to the property before you accept their money. You can not conduct business via the Internet without having some problems.
How far away is this property from where you are currently living? If you did not meet them in person, how do you know that they are not telling the truth?

Why would you discount the property twice? It sounds like you are aware that the property is not up to pare for the money that you are charging. ARE YOU A SLUMLORD?

I hope that you had them signed a rental agreement, and it should have stated the current conditions of all rooms and equipment. If this is true, when you will have nothing to worry about.

    Don’t worry about the lawsuit. If they saw it before, they knew what they were getting.
