If you remember people that lived through the great depression of 1929 they still kept there money under mattresses for decades after the crash.ccand those folks also eschewed debt.. my grand father never paid interest ever.. if he could not pay 

They left tons of stuff (damaged / broken) for me to clean with tags on this stuff labeled "stays here" (broken computers, mattresses, box springs, an old broken dryer, etc) - indicating intentional.If I had an actual security deposit - I at least would have been able to cover some of the damages / unpaid rent. 

People are floating their stuff on air mattresses and in fridges.

Yes,, I actually have listed on my move out / cleaning cost this type of thing listed.I charge 35.00 per mattress, 50.00 bucks a sofa,, Ect along with labor fee's to move it out.

It took a while to get everything that matched well, but overall it looks great and is holding up really well.The mattresses are something you need to buy new.

Or he might have the cash stuffed into his mattress!

We're renting them a bedroom, bathroom, living room, and office (with air mattress set up for the kids). 

All a tenant has to do, is go to Walmart, get an air up mattress and set up shop.

I am almost tempted to cash out and put it under my mattress and wait for the next market decline.    

One day I drove by and saw a homeless guy slept on the mattress that one of the students threw out.
