I also came up with a program to donate $500 from each REO closing to a charity of the AM's choice, and I think this was very effective in proving that I was not just another hungry agent chasing the almighty dollar.Best of luck!

I know you are not running a charity so make them responsible for rent until you can get a new rentor in.

If I want to help the homeless I will donate to a charity or volunteer at Habit for Humanity, but I will not alter my business model.If you choose to not rent to illegals based on moral beliefs then that perfectly fine and that is your choice. 

Give- find someone in need and help them or give to a charity, it feels great!

Because costs go up, no way around it unless the person doing the upgrades and improving is a charity.

@Anthony MiddletonThe lease is the lease.Non payment is clearly laid out.Either you are running a business or a charity.

After being burned more times than I care to admit to, I've realized I'm a business, not a charity. 

I hate it when people say this on here but this may be one of the cases where it actually does make sense to say it: consider hiring a PM moving forward because every tenant has a sob story and if you bend over every time you hear one, you might as well be running a charity.

This isn't a charity. 

Landlords generally get burned when they turn their business into a charity by giving  questionable applicants a "chance" but it is your investment not ours.
