[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 392849, member: 84"] My mom and step dad were landlords for many many years. They spelled everything possible out in the lease........including monthly surprise inspections to be certain the property was being maintained. If not the renter was subject to immediate eviction. My mom and step dad were hard nosed and didn't take any bull.......learning fast that if you do you often get burned in a big way. They were excellent about repairs and the like. Once I recall them evicting a renter for not informing them the hot water heater broke/ruptured and flooded the basement. They were furious over that one. They were indeed releaved when they finally decided to sell the properties. The worse renters they had by far? Family. I rented one house and kept it spotless. Stepdad's kids rented 2 of the properties and trashed them both so completely he had to remodel them. ugh They learned never to let renters do the "fixing up" even painting. Tended to come back and bite them in the fanny one way or another every darn time. [/QUOTE]
