I think fair housing discrimination laws don't apply when you live in the same unit.The worst problem I foresee is that the baby crying will irritate your tenants.

That's another reason I am a little irritated, because they know I will be paying their June electric bill as well (house meter is actually being installed today), so they know they are not going to pay the bill, but all of a sudden begin to use the laundry.In terms of the recent maintenance requests, I recently purchased this home, so I would agree that I am catching up with things that I missed while rehabbing the unit before they moved in (they are 1st tenants since rehab).

If you want to force a move you could raise it significantly higher, but you might irritate the tenants to the point where they don't take care of the property or worse, decide to damage it on their way out.Rent raises are easier for tenants to accept when they coincide with an improvement of some kind.

There were only a couple times when we had to have a tenant vacate their unit because of a problem - once because the plumbing overflowed and flooded the apartment; another time when the ceiling collapsed (I think because the tenant was banging on the ceiling with a broom handle because she was irritated by the noise from the upstairs tenant).But, in both cases, the tenants were no fun to deal with - even though our contract was very simple and clear on the fact that the landlord was not responsible for tenant belongings in the event of any kind of flooding, etc., and that tenants were responsible for getting their own insurance to replace their own stuff or pay for a hotel, etc., etc., etc.So, no you aren't liable for their stuff if there is a problem - but seriously save yourself a bunch of hassle by requiring insurance, including a loss of use rider.I live in low income senior housing now, and my neighbors are bad about overflowing plumbing, etc., and I can't even begin to count how often the smoke detector alarms go off because of old people leaving the stove on, etc.

If she has a wall-mounted TV, she's going to want to mount it on a wall.I guess the really irritating thing about all this, is that she waited until she had a signed lease before springing it all on you.

If my tenant gets a cold or the flu I am not giving them a break on the rent as it's their contractual duty to pay me to live on the premises.

Your tenants will be irritable and will then start complaining about other things they may have otherwise ignored.
