I might go there in a commercial lease, if available, where a piece of machinery could be siezed, but I'd never go in a residential property and get a TV or furniture!

Maybe, like a watered down holodeck, the walls could show real-time images of a campground near a lake or a outdoor mall in France.

Imagine moving large furniture into those 2nd fl apts?

I am not a smoker, but I don't have any rules against it.Reasons stated are valid reasons for prohibiting smoking indoors - having a fire is not.The risk of having a fire is very low - and probably even lower for Dennis Tierney, since the other tenants are more aware of the dangers now.Taking a proactive approach to things is good - like prohibiting smoking indoors because of the wear on the unit, or outdoors because of the second-hand smoke.Being reactive to things like fires is bad.If you never had the fire, would it still be right for you to prohibit smoking outside?

Is there a walk-out door?

When she and her two housemates moved in, there was furniture already present (the place was rented unfurnished), left by the previous tenants.The landlord is now refusing to return the deposit, claiming that the cost of moving out the furniture (which was present when they moved in, and they left when they moved out) exceeds the amount of the deposit ($1550).

In TX it's very difficult for me to do much outdoors between about 1:00 and 5:00 PM without getting bad headaches from the heat.

I think you would have better luck with the investor that is doing rehabs and has no furniture etc.
