Lost Rent:

It takes one to two months to formally evict a person, sometimes longer if you miss a step. With rental rates running anywhere from $500 to $1,500 per month for a standard two bedroom unit, that's $1,000 to $3,000 in lost revenue.

Life, business and even the Government throw daily challenges at us. The last thing any of us need is a problem tenant, and all the inconvenience that arises from having one. Below is a typical story:
