Tankless Water Heaters by wishinguwell
Hi all: I am building a house in Bonao and strongly looking at putting in a whole house propane gas hot water heater. My problem is I don't know if there are any dealers or installers in the country. Can any one help?
One of the issues I have found with my on demand heaters - if the water coming in has any debris or dirt you will need to clean out the intake of the water heater every so often. I live in an apt tower and have to do it every 3 months.Is the one in ... Read More

This made me chuckle as well. We don't live there full time; we have a holiday home that we use and also rent out. But we've been there many times and I am quite handy here at home in the US. Based on everything we've experienced with ... Read More

How long does it take to evict non paying tenants. by lspriggs0325
Does anyone know who long it takes to evict a tenant who hasn't paid in 5-6 years? My mother owns two houses, not in great condition. The tenant rented one of the two homes and turned into a bakery of sorts. Then her son broke in the second ...
She was there since either June or July (this is in dispute; prop mgr says June, she says July). She only paid security and two months' rent. Her claim was that her security was one of her months of rent. This is common in DR, I know. She was to ... Read More
