find yourself a tenant that wants to rent your property via courier-post, craigslist or any other media outlet. they will notify the govt. they want to live in your property, they will do all the paperwork,they will inspect it, and once you pass your in business! It all takes about two months AFTER you find a tenant. section 8(HUD) is located next to Mc Donalds downtown.

Personally, as a LL I would hate to face a Magistrate in court trying to keep a tenant from breaking a lease after another tenant shot into his residence.

I would much rather face the Magistrate explaining why I was evicting the shooter.

And I would really REALLY hate to deal with some ambulance-chasing attorney knowing that I might lose or, just as bad, that my insurance company would settle and then bend me over the nearest barrel.

If you came to me wanting to leave, Tori, I would make sad noises and quickly send you on your way, along with quickly giving the boot to the upstairs tenant.

i had a similar situation, people where shooting at the next door neighbor, missed and sent two bullets through an open window into the wall ! i got there just as the cops arrived and i asked them if they were o.k., and if they wanted to move? they said they were going to stick it out....i was shocked...a couple of months later he(tenant) was arrested for robbing 5 banks he got 120 years in the fed.....and last year somebody got murdered in the street in front of the house, other than that the house is a pretty good money maker!
