It falls under theft of service within the state, and so would generally be considered theft in general. 

I quickly found 9 years worth of assault/felony theft/domestic violence convictions against one of the tenants.

With that being said, the types of deeds should be quite similar if not identical in most states; just depends on local practices as well.  

Someone is in the property and this could reduce the chances of vandalism, theft, etc.

This is the information I've researched & come up with so far:The city has assessed the home (btw it's a 2 bed 1 bath duplex) for $116Zillow assesses it for $135There's an identical duplex (needed no repairs) two houses down that sold for 83k in '98 & 80.5k in '12.

The risks I can think of are theft, vandalism, damage during construction, injury to a worker.

I have asked an almost identical question before and have had the same concern.I guess I just decided that "it is what it is" and I won't make it overly obvious that I'm writing the blog.

If it is identical to the rented side it is easy to figure.  

It means no background or credit check and it is possible you are renting to someone with a totally false identity.

Hi Everyone,I was hoping someone could recommend a good air conditioning technician in the Ft Pierce area to install a unit in a duplex that I will get from a AC Depot in Ft Pierce.
