If an adult says this is what they want and they can do what they say they can (and have a reasonable chance given their good performance) I am not going to deny them that chance.

I believe that this is one of the few places I can come and be highly likely to find people of this caliber.As for the times, I am glad we are having this discussion over the internetbecause high spirited people are more effective and successful when there is a bit of time lag between thought and deed (as the wind up of this thread has proven).One of the things that I remember the most from a family history I read concerning my surname in the SOuth of the US in the 1700's and 1800's.In my family line, for more than one generation of land holders and tenants alike, practically every adult male died by gunshot wound in a duel or by gunshot wound inflicted by the family member of the loser in a duel.Now a days we return to civility with a "guys".

If they say they will fix their issues so they can get financed and won't do what they need to, well you treated them like an adult and they didn't perform so that is their loss.

I have received two reports from one of my buildings where tenants suspect there are more than 2 adults living in the units.

they live with another couple & their kids who had mommy finance a home for them and section 8 is paying for it. 4 adults, one modular, 6 kids, 7 DOGS. 4 ADULTS NOT ONE OF THEM HAS A JOB, they can afford to smoke because of their monthly stipends from Uncle Sam & Aunt Jenny & YOU.

As a young adult, I was shocked at the amount and type of people who have little rooms setup in their basements with an ventilation fan and that's where they go and get away from the kids at night to smoke a joint.

Norman Podhoretz , the editor at large for Commentary magazine (I recommend that you take a look at this magazine even if only online) said it best “ Creativity represents a miraculous coming together of the uninhibited energy of the child with its apparent opposite and enemy, the sense of order imposed on the disciplined adult intelligence. â€Self esteem and self confidence are also at stake.

Josh, here is a well deserved virtual refreshing adult beverage to make up for your stressful day!

I believe people have the right to do whatever they want with their bodies, up to and including suicide (which Beck apparently considered as well).But, I don't consider someone who believes college is a bad thing and who feels the need to be stoned for *literally* half their adult life to be a good role model for our society...in fact, I believe lack of education and excessive drug use are things that have contributed to the downfall of this country...I prefer to choose role models who spend their time being productive and contributing to society, not those who drop out of school and spend 15 years straight on the couch getting stoned.Of course, if you want to look up to someone who does that, or if you want your kids and grandkids to look up to someone who does that, all the more power to you...it's a free country, after all and you can look up to anyone you choose...

No other landlord will accept a tenant with a pitbull puppy.Suggest that she get a nice adult Labrador Retriever from Labrador rescue, but only if the property has a fenced yard.
