I have never heard of Rental Karma.

Karma will get them!

If the complainer can't smell it in their apartment, but, are uptight enough to be bothered by the passing smell in the hallway...it may not be the smoker that has the problem.I have found that complainers/boat rockers are often wound a bit to tight, and that when you are a highly responsive empathetic landlord, they turn you in to their own personal karma delivery machine, to right all the wrongs that previously fallen on deaf ears.Good luck.

You can have good credit and be unemployed, so good call on the Credit Karma credit score attempt.God, $100,000 in student loans. 

Karma is rewarding you for doing the right thing and taking care of your folks.There is no cap on how many of your and your spouse's combined four parents you can do this for, but if you try using it multiple times be prepared to prove to a skeptical underwriter that mom did indeed actually move in, and that you are not collecting rent from her (according to your accurate Schedule E).Also, because this is a principal residence per Fannie's definition, and not a second home or investment property, that means it can in theory be an 11th financed property.
