That's certainly not a perfect way to prevent abuse, it would just make it harder for those people who want to flood the system.

I tried 250 cases to jury trial and was in a sex crimes unit prosecuting child abuse and sex cases for a year and then only first-degree felonies for several years.I know what you will say now.

My thoughts: East Bay:- Close to a BART station to traveling medical worker/corporate person could hop on a bus/BART to work: El Cerrito, San Leandro, Hayward, Fremont, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Concord, Dublin, Pleasanton- Maybe Richmond, Antioch and Pittsburg but some parts have a lot of crime. - Going further out Brentwood and Oakley have appreciated quite a bit and have pretty good schools- Something with potential to add value: ADU attached to the main house or separately in the backyard in the future to get additional rent.

There will generally be more wear and tear, abuse, and neglect by the tenants, because they cannot afford to be on top of things.

Covering a tenant's utilities often leads to utility abuse.

Because they shouldn't be. - MASSIVE spam and abuses of people that get HUNDREDS of calls a day from "wholesalers"There are DO NOT CALL lists and laws in place that prohibit abusive calls.

Here is why I didn't require a reference for each one:The first set were a 17 year old and a 19 year old, trying to escape a brutally abusive situation.

If you have failed to include the domestic abuse protections language then your rental agreement will be void if the agreement also includes language allowing you to terminate a tenant's tenancy if the tenant or their guest have engaged in criminal activity.

Never again.For the last 15 years we have really been living in a prolonged recovery period, IMO.

Of course I realize lots of people grew up poor, or discriminated against, or had childhoods of divorce or drug abuse or sexual abuse or other things.
