I find manual dish washing peaceful , especially while listening to my favorite podcast. 

I might have to go and paint it myself because they are not going to dish out the cash.   

Who pays for damage to the furniture, missing dishes/utensils, etc.?

If they're plastic, it'll work for a while, but PVC and ABS are hard to get paint to stick to on a long-term basis.If there's a satellite dish on the roof, you may have to disconnect it temporarily while roofing. 

The title insurer would not dish out the balance (now over $4400 due to late fees) unless they had a signed judgment. 

Some costs (repair the dish washer, carpet cleaning at unit turnover, etc.) are pretty fixed regardless of rent level.

I appreciate both of you and all of the helpful information that you dish out on BP.

I will be there Tony, and am trying to bring a buddy with me.For those on the fence, Thunder Bay has a pretty good Bourbon selection along with some tasty beers on tap.Thanks-Mike

Not exactly sure how we compare with other areas in Illinois or even out-of-state but enrollment here is continuing to increase and those students need someplace to live, especially the internationals that are just dishing out money like crazy!

I'm doing all the communication right now, I didn't pay the retainer yet and don't want to dish out $1000+ if I don't have to.
