Someone here is an organized creature of habit as I, that has gotten you to where you are now because of your repetitive, cyclical actions.

So many people simply were never taught good habits about saving money.Good luck to all!

Some contractors will be more willing to share information than others and this is where your networking and people skills are so vital!

Late payment will become a habit. 

You already asked for a higher deposit, so if everything else meets your criteria for renting to her, why not add an addendum to the lease that states while this is a 1 year lease, within the first 3 months, you can terminate it early...a way for you get out, not the tenant.Depending on how bad the black mold was, you may want to make sure everything is super clean before she moves it in.Her previous landlord is right in a way 'that her lease stated that no matter what the rent is due', but if the house is not habitable, that rent gets put into a special account that the landlord can't access until the problem is remedied.

It is an old habit but I like to check the current tax assessors value.

I like the eviction process, but landlords should be required to maintain habitability.
