Thanks guys for the advice. Danny to answer your question, the house actually has current tenants until the end of May and I do have some interest from other people. I think I will stand by my guns and make them make a decision and if they walk then I will move on to someone else. To be honest my gut has told me to be careful with these guys since they told me they were in a band and when they told me they didn't want to sign the addendum that confirmed my concerns, but I wanted to hear from some of you guys to see if you felt the same way I did.

I live in a college town so a large part of my market are students. I have 4 male students that are extremely interested in renting out my rental house, but during my discussions with them they informed me they were in a band and wanted to use the basement of the house as a place to practice. I'm not necessarily against them playing in the house but I don't want noise complaints to be a problem. I decided to make an addendum to my lease that basically has them agree not to play the music too loud or at times that would be disturbing to neighbors. I essentially said I would give them 2 warning but the third offense would result in a loss of deposit and essentially give me the option of evicting them. They won't sign the addendum due to the third offense being "too harsh" so I am reaching out to people on here to see what they would do. Do you modify your addendum or stick to you guns and move on?
