The owner had been living in these conditions for a long time due to mental health issues.It was heartbreaking to see.We agreed on a price and closed very quickly to provide relief.

Initially signed up for property management for few months before I'm mentally prepared to start self-managing.

Retiring altogether is the best option, but doing something else might be worth it for my own mental health.I thought about getting into the property management side of things for other investors because I have so much experience on that side of things, but I really have no idea how to even start with that. 

The law requires disabled persons to have a minimum 30-day relationship with their licensed mental health professional (LMHP), who must be certified to practice in California.

I am in Alaska, the dark winters just aren't manageable for me anymore so I decide for mental health reasons its best to relocate.

Quote from @Samuel Mutschler: This is mental illness, substance abuse, or someone trying to get out of their lease.I would tell them the rental is unsafe and they should leave.

We partner with a lot of organizations that help certain individuals whether it be re entry programs, addiction programs, section 8, mental health organizations etc. with that a large number of our residents receive some type of subsidy and most are not section 8.

I was recently involved in a thread where the OP was almost radical in her dedication to her short-term $savings at the expense of long term gain, and yet was bemoaning having had a mentally unstable tenant turn vicious on her.If you "face the beast" you must expect to be battered mercilessly at some point.

Is he mentally disabled ?
