 oh, please...too many lawsuit happy people. enough of the attorney threats already.

well, this is an old thread but I got a tattooed prospective tenant today looking at the property.

She was covered with tattoos, has a small child, came with mom who will be paying for her.

The place is too big for her and her child, so not a match.

I also like responsible people.

If you got tattooed and like to project the "fierce" attitude but your mom has to pay for you then you need to look elsewhere. We are not a good fit together as a tenant and a landlord.

It was a NO because she is simply not a fit for the property and I do not allow subleasing, hosting and limit how long the non paying guests can stay on the property.

I do not have problem with pets. I do have problem with irresponsible, woke tenants. They move in then they create drama and start throwing their rights around.

Of course. There has been a significant erosion of private property rights for the small business as well as more and higher taxes despite the recent dive the economy took. I have been concerned about "essential business" vs "non essential" business designation that was unheard of prior to 2020. It looks like the small and some medium business has been designated as "non essential" where are large mega corporations have been given green light and have reported significant gains. There has also been a significant downward push to reduce consumption. These seem like significant factors to me. Now waiting to hear about some climate pandemic. Then expect more mandates and even laws to reduce driving or have the taxes to pay for driving "in excess" of what would be allowed. We have to wait 5-7 years to ensure that the "great reset" fails completely before the small business can continue on.

An interesting perspective. So thank you for that. I had never thought of parking lots but I am personally a bit hesitant about parking now. Or anything commercial at this point.

when people sign a contract they agree to the conditions. if the conditions are bad they can be reported. why reinvent the wheel? governemnt overreach has been unprecedented. landlords should not pay for these crazy initiatives. most properties are mortgaged and lender also is the technical owner. there needs to be a pushback. unfortunately no national association of landlords. are these busy bodies going to visit large corporate apartments as well or just private landlords. goverment clearly wants to have the singular ownership of the private property.

I am in southeast USA. my rent is $1895 (I try to stay competitive) and my security deposit is $3500. No pet deposit as I do not want to be limited by that amount. Security deposit will be used for any pet damages. People are more incentivised to keep the place in a better shape when they know they can get their deposit back. I write my ad in such a way that I get minimum tire kickers or unqualified potential tenants. I honestly do not care to receive 100 messages. I have class A  property and anyone who does not meet my criteria is out. My properties are within 1 mile radius, they are cash flowing and have tremendous appreciation. I would rather not rent and wait it out. Quality over quantity.

 There is nothing wrong with doing a work on your own property. We have set boundaries and expectations. We respect our tenants and that is why they rent from us. I am in  business for myself. 

We do not require anyone to wear any masks. They do not work. Viruses do not stop at some magic distance of 6 ft. We are sick on the paranoia. If someone wants to wear a mask they can do so. Having a disease is not criminal and it is not possible to trace where a person got sick. Additionally there is no such thing as asymptomatic people transferring diseases. When people are ill they normally self isolate. Mask obsessed can pass on to the next property. We do not need drama.
