I want to proceed with a potential tenant who makes 4X the rental income, solid rental history and hopefully a clean criminal record (that should be coming back tomorrow when they open up.)If they refuse this tenant for whatever reason can I just gently tell them I am done working with them, and move solo.  

In addition, I often treat my helper to lunch on turnover day or other perks such as a professional massage or a ticket to the Opera. 

I sent a gentle letter to that owner asking if they could talk to their tenant. 2 weeks later, haven't heard back.Then on Friday night, my tenant called me to tell me the neighbor stopped over, was very aggressive - seemed unhinged and during the conversation, pulled a gun our of his jacket and pointed it at my tenant.

Guests staying this long generally understand they will be getting more themselves but it doesn't hurt to gently remind them.- I have a local service, PullPalz, that comes weekly to take my trash and recycling bins to the street.

For example, "Tenant will not operate any business from the residence, including but not limited to... " I list a bunch of examples like day care, massage, gambling, laundry service, etc.

For sink and faucet, check out habitat restore and appliances you can sometimes get scratch and dent ones or gently used ones.

Clearly I need to be a little more gentle with you going forward, so for that I really do apologize.

Soon enough I can live like a rich bastard calling all the little people "the help" as 4 people give me a massage at the same time one for each limb!

Just be gentle about it, as it will be stressful for them to revisit this topic.

Go to your local thrift store and buy a gently used leather sofabed for $200.
