Panicking

[Meg K.]

Hello BP,

I am not renewing my current tenant's lease after 6 years...lots of late payments, damage, and disrespect as i live in one of the units in the duplex.  I posted in postlets for new tenants and have been screening interested applicants...most people did not meet the 3X income, most have DDS/sec 8.  Let me say that this is a great house (Brick/Stucco/high ceilings/original wood floors 1921 2-story house, huge DR, LR, Den, Molding on walls in DR and LR, ceiling molding in DR and LR, huge pantry--you get the picture) but it happens to be in an area that is not highly desirable.  As i mentioned I live in one of the units and I am worried I will not be able to find good tenants to move in Oct.4th...current tenants move out Sept. 30th...any suggestions?

Thanks, Meg
