We most definitely are liberal about wear and tear on D rentals. 

I am always learning something new and will never assume that I know it all.Yes, Massachusetts is a very liberal state, and VERY tenant friendly and the laws favor tenants in housing court.

I'm on the liberal side of moderate, and still try to help people, but I've been taken advantage of more times than I can count (though I do stop once this happens- it's better to take a chance on people as some will appreciate it.

Jim Cummings : so the judge in a JP court in a liberal city just decides to crap on the property rights of the landlord and ignore the property code and contract between two people?

They have excellent documents and they are well tested before many, many liberal California judges.

Keep in mind, actually sending them to collections will result in the collection company getting half and you possibly seeing some money possibly in the very distant future.Going to small claims court you will be the evil rich landlord forcing possibly a deadly disease (Coronavirus) on your tenant (according to them) and your chances of winning depend on how liberal your state/judge is.

@Deniqua AntoineNot gone to a liberal arts college to pay for a worthless overpriced major.

The peace of mind knowing that your home doesn't have a mortgage is financially sound and liberating. 

No one should be surprised that, in these liberal areas, many tenants are not paying rent. 

For example :-The type that insisted on going to the out of state liberal arts school and racked up $150,000 in student loan debt while acquiring their degree in English literature-Your neighbor that have two $40,000+ new cars in the driveway while saying it is way to risky to invest in real estate because you could lose money-Your friends that time boasting about all their 0% financing on their furniture then forget to pay the balance offPeople on BP tend not to be in these categories.
