Sober living house?
I posted another question about Detroit and the problems i'm having. I was thinking of turning one of the rentals into a sober living. Have someone living there for free who will keep up repairs, monitor and collect rents.
I haven't had any luck with single family tenants so was thinking about this instead. Anyone have any experience with sober living?
If they don't pay can they just be locked out without having to take them to court?

@Cynthia Miller
I have a sober living home.
I am told that I am protected by the ADA
Americans w disabilities act.
I have a colleague that has pushed back on a neighborhood complaint and hadn’t had any more trouble.
I personally haven’t had a problem yet.
