We do have very high levels of alcohol and drug abuse, which lead to a lot of the vagrancy issues Keenan was talking about. 

I use Proper insurance, unwritten by Lloyds of London, for my STR - covers the extra issues you would expect from an STR like vandalism, alcohol liabilities, business interruption up $10k, hot-tub cooties etc.

I have a tenant who is an alcoholic.

The cost to turn on the power and have it hooked up is a fixed cost, it does not matter waht consumption is.

Sleepless nights, rehab for alcoholism and a divorce later he has grown into a decent size fabrication company working on mansions in Beverly Hills and still working his *** off.

More people cooking/sharing a kitchen, more showers being taken affecting hot water consumption, more persons to occupy one of the couches or tvs, more personalities to adapt with and keep consideration for, etc., plus the utilities you mentioned- water, Wi-Fi, shared amenities such as paper towels and soap etc.I’m not trying to be combative, as your point makes sense.

He says bad to give out alcohol to drivers though..

Core Personal Consumption Expenditures Quarter over Quarter5.

The only way it could have been worse would been if it had taken an HP Lovecraft "The Rats In the Wall" sort of direction.Could you have found a perennially broke alcoholic or two to handle the roach corpse cleanup?

This monopoly or illuminati like emphasis on forcing people to be licensed is nonsense.If the Medical field held the same view on "Treatments", then treating your friends basic wounds after a friendly football game with alcohol and a wrap would be illegal in the medical field since you're not a licensed doctor.If the Law or FTC field held the same view on "Counseling", then simply adding the verbiage "I'am not a legal attorney, please consult one" or "Profit is not guaranteed" should not excuse many of us of writing guides, tips, or any informational material without their specific license to ensure our expertise.I mean, 7 outta 10 Realtors can't even tell you the difference between 1978 Lead Paint Disclosures and Lead Paint Free Certificates (LOL), but as big Lead Paint risks are, barely anyone no one knows about this.
