It's good you are doing drive-bys, but spreadsheet analysis for house hacking won't get you very far until you see what you have to manage, if the utilities are separated, and you see the tenant next door's upkeep irl.

@Nadirah Dawson I'm so happy to hear this follow up!

I would not sign my name to these terms - in most states, you are not responsible for general up-keep of the home and keeping it safe and habitable and Landlord should not be shifting their legal responsibilities to you as tenant.Nada

Quartz would allow you to charge more for rent but is not upkeep heavy as granite.

The consumer would never go into a grocery store and start asking the kid stalking asparagus for dieting tips and the right caloric formulas for weight loss, just because he's responsible for stocking produce and knows how to properly identify a gala or fuji apple. 

A 27 year history of on time rent payments carries more weight compared to  $3900 over a 12 month period. 

Scott:  I should have expected @Brandon Turner would have chosen to display the back of the shirt above.For your next item, might I suggest a light-weight, water resistant, wind-shirt (pull-over w/ 1/3 zip or a full zip), which folds-up in it's own "Bigger Pocket" for storage and hangs off your pack/belt/whatever, when you are not wearing it.I promise I'll use it when I running an ultra out your way ...

Our standard lease forms do not carry the same weight for security deposits vice the regular rent payments (that is to say there is no language in the lease template for failure to pay the deposit when it is presumed paid already).

You can file complaints with HUD or other alphabet agencies but since your just an outsider your complaints will have little weight.  3. you probably not really understanding what happened here..

@Alex R.My first suggestion would be to place less weight on the credit score and learn to read a credit history.
