If you want to buy them out of their lease early, I strongly encourage you to engage an attorney. 

Thank you for the encouragement Mitch! 

I encourage you to inform the case manager, if you can get a hold of them, and let them know the situation that you are in.

Robert, I would encourage looking into facebook groups for roommate rentals.

If we clean it up, it encourages them to be irresponsible, if we 'fine' everyone in the house it creates a problem.A guest might be headed to Boston for their next training rotation and the other returning to South Sudan, and they see the trunk where we keep extra pillows, blankets, etc. 

Great to know and very encouraging!

@Daniel King as long as you give tenants payment options, they can "pick their poison".Most free software for owners, make their money by charging tenants.We've designed our charges to encourage online payments and discourage mailed payments.FYI: not sure you can legally NOT accept cash, but you CAN require them to only deposit into your bank account instead of giving it to you.

I'd encourage you go to as many as you can. 

I highly encourage you to look into other areas outside of California to get a better ROI.

I would encourage you to join whichever one is closest to you and avoid paying some "guru" money that won't yield you anything.
