Here, widowed and disabled get (small) tax breaks.

Its just another of those routine replacement items you will need to deal with.I think this "tenant pays first $100" is a bad idea, even if its legal.

There are some great commercials currently playing in my area about RE-LEARNING to do daily routine activities without smoking.

I work with and know several other mortgage brokers who routinely do deals out of state. 

It changes your routine.

This is nothing to write home about, but if you have to do the repairs anyway... you might as well get a little rent boost for them.If you or a family member wants to move in, you can usually kick one of the tenants out to owner occupy - but not if they have been there over 10 years and are disabled or senior--- if they have all been there for 35 years, they might all be senior citizens or disabled and you can't get them out this way.

It is not the tenant's issue to provide routine maintenance no matter what was signed.John Corey

I REALLY don't like the idea of tenants using the fireplace.I'd like to disable the fireplace, but not sure how to do it without ruining the aesthetics.
