The tenant who I tried to evict but declared Chapter 13 is leaving! Though I will likely lose 5K, as I doubt that she will meet her bankruptcy obligations, I am very happy. 

NEVER lower your screening standards...EVER!

Someone once told me that in times like these, it's constructive to look at that loss not as money wasted, but as tuition paid to learn a lesson you won't ever forget. Think of the money you'll save not making this mistake again! At least that's how I try to look at it. Glad to hear things worked out and you can get things back on track and rented out.
