I just slowed down my speech, but used the same words I would with anyone - just in slower motion :-)But, they're great tenants.  

Have that speech ready to go.They will also be scared.

There was a couple who gave a presentation at our local landlord club the other month, for the life of me I can't remember the name.Essentially, the main speech was done by a lady, who as a landlord was owed tens of thousands and finally snapped when some deadbeat ex-tenant flipped her off in court.She sells a $299 guide book on how to sue your tenant, and frankly, I'd have bought it - if we were owed large amounts of back rent (which we aren't).

You need to do an assessment on asbestos and lead based paint for this home before you do anything with it - the materials were completely uncontrolled until HUD began overseeing construction of these in 1976.Also have someone get under the home and look at the wooden trusses and frame to make sure it's in good shape and serviceable - many times these will be bent from multiple moves and the floors may seem wavy and unable to level them out.  

I'd definitely take the advice of the other posters and present your documents and speech to the judge and just let them make the call.

Part of my speech when I sign the lease with my tenants is that I chose them because they paid they bills on time. 

For example the one that I live in I put in no pets, no smoking, no sublet, no waterbeds, no inflammatory speech displayed in window,  can't use the roof, decorations must not destroy walls. 

As an example, in CA you can not prohibit a tenant from posting election signs near an election because it limited the right to free speech.

My stock speech is this: The main difference between rental RE and any other form of investing for us mere mortals who aren't hedge funders is that this is the only market we can take serious advantage of borrowing leverage.

I give new tenants a speech at the lease signing.
