Just had an AirBNB guest cancel after day 3 of a 30 day booking (we always use strict cancellation policy) because he said he drove by a grocery store 3 blocks away and saw ‘homeless people doing drugs.’The guest called AirBNB and pressured us to lift the strict policy and allow them to cancel for ‘the safety of their family.’A few months ago we had a guest cancel early because they ‘saw someone in the yard at night.’

In many markets inventory is lower (in Los Angeles inventory went from 2,577 a month ago down to 1,883 - and that 1,883 is up front 1,700-something a week ago).I can understand why a buyer would rather wait to buy as now - in many areas - they've either chosen or are by law unable to go and view the inside of a property (which is likely why so many sellers had their listings pulled).With the Gilead drug showing very good results for those with pneumonia and the fact some states are opening back up to varying degrees, we'll see what happens. 

., but this is starting to get ridiculous if the landlord can’t reclaim their property and have to just watch it turn into a drug/gang member house.

@Greg Scott and @Bjorn Ahlblad, does knowing the why behind the selling of the home alleviate any concerns for you on the 5 year lease being a red-flag?

I would never consider it with a non family member but if there was a way that I could cross Ts and dot Is and watch out for us both and just alleviate any headaches over who’s responsible for what

With that said a LLC with a good operating agreement can help to alleviate most issues by anticipating them.For a good operating agreement though this is going to typically require an attorney who specializes in this type of work just because templates typically don't address all possible issues that can come up.

Question 1: do you add an addendum of requirements / conditions to your leases and if so, do you include any information specifically from your insurance agent (plus other basic points, e.g. no drug use?)

It's a two-bedroom house in a sketchy hood and I wouldn't be caught living there myself -- that neighborhood is full of trash who laze around all day, selling drugs, collecting disability and welfare and food stamps, picking up free food at the food bank, panhandling anyone who they see who dresses and drives better than they do.My time is important to me.

There was another thread about a guy who bought in a less than desirable area of Chicago and he was complaining about all the drug deals in his alley (he was also living there).

She is using drugs, has been arrested for it a couple ones the last few weeks, had her car repossessed, and has lied to me repeatedly over the last 2 months about rent and moving out.
