that comment from your agent makes zero sense. perhaps something your agent is saying is being lost in translation from he to you to us? certainly someone would never make such a blanketing statement, which is largely false.

I treat them courteously and strictly, start not paying rent. Rent notice once or twice...then breach of lease filing and theyre history. Writen warning provided of course. Mess up my places, warned to repair/ pay for repair. Not paid/ done, breach of lease filed. They pay for repair/ court costs or get out circa eviction. Treat these tenants as employees who are paying for a privilege, don't pay..privilege revoked.

It's your house, there are plenty of them, one of you. Agent doesn't want the listing, give it to someone else

Contact landlord, landlord doesn't address problem, contact court system. See doctor and document problems. Move out temporarily, whether permanent is dependent on landlord work. If you don't trust landlord, hire contractor to determine cause of mold and document

@Bill Gulley

Really

Try not being too literal. I can tell that HUD investigator to speak with my attorney. I can tell that judge I'm going to be appealing their decision. Being self employed means that, while I certainly have obligations and things to do, I can choose when and if I do them without having to worry about getting fired. I have the freedom to make my own choices, not someone with the power to remove me should I not adhere to those requests.

Nobody can ever fire me, or tell me what to do.

In md, the only difference between month to month and year is that the lease can be terminated by the landlord with 30 days notice
