It also creates another consequence for the tenant's behavior and lack of responsibility.

Not all kids have the same temperament/behavior, and you will have to parent differently with each to get the same result (good behavior), it is very similar with tenants.

I couldn't be part of paying off a dead beat, doesn't sit right with me, I just can't reward the behavior in people that I can't stand, just can't be a hypocrite, you have to stand for something or you'll fall for anything.

No sooner had they moved in than my phone began to ring with complaints from the neighbors, and communicating the problems and expected proper behavior to the new tenants was difficult because they barely spoke English.

I know when I got serious about this it was amazing how much savings I found with just a little sacrifice and or behavior change.

If everyone wanted to move and sublease the space for the remainder of the lease then you are required by law to allow them to do so (in that case a no-subletting clause is illegal) When a tenant approaches you about subletting be sure you explain to the tenants that they are completely responsible for the sublease tenants payment and behavior.

I'm from Miami and this behavior is pretty common down here.

And it's 14 days if "the breach of the lease involves behavior by a tenant or a person who is on the property with the tenant's consent, which demonstrates a clear and imminent danger of the tenant or person doing serious harm to themselves, other tenants, the landlord, the landlord's property or representatives, or any other person on the property.."

If there is a lawsuit and the landlord "should have know" that the animal was potentially dangerous, the landlord can be held liable. 3) Tenant behavior- Landlords also assume some responsibility for their tenants behavior.

If not, it is your expectations of human behavior that may be irrational and you might want to reconsider how you prepare your "client" for closing.
