Hi Matt,Step one might be to get them a new baby gift or two---like a couple of little stuffed toys from Target or Walmart.Drop them at the door in a box like FedEx does with a nice little card of congratulations on the new baby.If that doesn't make YOUR life easier, then wait until the lease runs out.

Your family thinks it wastes time away from them ,the tenants think your evil and a greedy oppressor ,The city thinks your a profiteer trying to get bilk money from the townspeople.. my advice is don’t make it personal your just going to be let down when the tenant leaves you With no rent ,a dead hooker stuffed in the closet and  cat urine soaked carpeting 

In pulling out the old one we discover that the tenant has stuffed plastic carrier bags all through the back of the stove and around the drawer at the bottom of the stove.

I, personally, many years later now, have never read a story by anyone who was happy they rented to someone who wanted to pay up front.But, really, your best rules of thumb for minimizing problems are to use M2M agreements, and screen the stuffing out of every tenant.Other than a grow, sometimes people rent a place with cash, then move other people into it. 

This is why you see a huge amount of bankruptcies stuffed in Q4 2005, and a slow ramp up to the second peak of bankruptcies in 2010.    2005 + 7 years (of bankruptcy bad luck) = 2012.  

So I explained that it wouldn't work if it was stuffed full like that.

You cannot invest what you do not have.Initially before you invest, your success is measured by how much you have in (for instance) your Vanguard Money Market Fund, or an FDIC insured Money Market account, or stuffed inside your mattress, etc...

Our craft was to sew this little stuffed mouse.

The clients are fantastic at repetitive tasks like stuffing mailers.
