I could get $100 more a month and maybe attract a better tenant if I can get the kitchen to sparkle a little more.

Anyway, they just moved out and the paint needed some refreshing (wipe pet slobber :), the yard was full of dog droppings, and the carpets needed to be cleaned.

The tenant had just moved in and the windows were no sparkling clean. 

We lobby constantly to close the loopholes to at least make the law fair.When I got my real estate license and took the refresher class to keep the license (by an attorney no less teaching) it was stated that it was legal to discriminate against law students and lawyers.

It's always nice when someone refreshes our memory on things we should be keeping on our minds.  

I've talked to the landlord for the unit next door, and he's always over there doing repairs, and completely refreshing the unit every 6-12 months due to his high turnover tenants, he seems very stressed.  

You'll still have to refresh the unit and market for a new tenant.I disagree with your interpretation of the tenant's paradigm, also.Since financial education is not taught in the schools, we all tend to fall into the habit of assuming that our expenses will remain relatively non-volatile.

It is so helpful and refreshing to be a part of group of people who are genuinely invested in the success of others, especially newbies like myself!

I'm not knocking the site refresh as a whole in any way.But, to me, the changes to the Inbox feature provide really poor functionality compared to what was there before. 

I found that refreshing in itself.
