This won't take care of the visitors, but it will give you grounds to talk to them about the extra water they are using.Or....you could install low flow toilets, showerheads & aerators on your faucets and save on your basic bills!

I showed up for an inspection with a cop once, who got to see the yelling, screaming and threats first hand and the way my bad choice in a tenant lived.

nope, not a joke.everyone here has taken the stance that i haven't paid rent because i'm holding back or trying to rip someone off. i actually agree that the situation is long overdue and i'm totally down to pay rent. i have a bank account that i've dedicated and make monthly deposits to so that i have everything covered. i do feel it's not good business the relationship i have with landlord and BOTH of us have obviously let this go on too long. i was naive to post this in a landlord's forum :-) but i wanted to be considerate and understand things from his perspective also. believe me i understand now. thing is, you all have painted me out to be the scum of the earth and in so many words implied that i'm both an idiot, dishonest and a vindictive for not squaring things away. i'm sorry that you are upset that there are no late fees in place and that our rent agreement is a verbal one. my landlord hasn't been kicking and screaming for me to pay up--we both are kind of embarrassed for putting this off for so long. so you can skewer me and make me out to be the devil all you want; go ahead and get your rocks off if it turns you on. but as a tenant, at least i'm upfront with everything; i have all the money to pay and no intentions of taking advantage of anything. the situation i'm in with my landlord is pretty extreme and not ordinary. we have fallen WAY behind on the accounting but are now finally taking the steps to resolve the situation. talks about eviction are silly since it's never even been brought up between us. paying $100K in late fees is ludicrous since this isn't part of our agreement. you're wasting your time with "real world" examples of what you would do if some darn guy didn't pay you for so long... for all the people making crude comments about me, calling me a liar and a joke--it's unnecessary and ill informed. i'm not a demon tenant refusing to pay rent. i've never held my landlord hostage by holding back payment. what none of you can understand is the simple reality of the situation--both landlord and tenant fell far behind on finances; tenant has all funds and intention to pay which is a lot more than can be said for any of you with tenants that have purposefully screwed you overit's obvious how you all feel regarding asking for some $$ off rent for the last couple months--I get it and I've taken note. hey guys, this is an internet forum, it's easy for you to say smart *** remarks about me without much repercussions. so if it makes you feel better to bash on me and take out all your tenant frustrations on me then by all means go ahead. i don't owe you anything, and if i did i'd pay you in full

They can drag you out of your hosue kicking and screaming about rights viloations any day of the week and if you are without means, can put you anywhere they like.

Businesses are hurting and few are building, so it should be possible to get a screaming deal on that land right now.

I'm continuing to build cash reserves until one of two things happens - either I run across a screaming deal that is too good to pass up, or I have enough cash to pay off both units and still have a substantial cash cushion in reserve.

welcome patrick....you can get some screaming deals in florida and specifically in tampa right now...lookin foward to your input here

Bryan - If I get some time, I'll do that.Vikram - We should have the stats page hiding all last names to visitors to the site in our next update.

If the House, or any part of the House, shall be partially damaged by fire or other casualty not due to Tenant's negligence or willful act, or that of Tenant's family, agent, or visitor, there shall be an abatement of rent corresponding with the time during which, and the extent to which, the House is unlivable.

My guess is that most people aren't getting the most out of the site because the vast majority of the visitors don't post.
