I don't know how old this guy is but most people that experience psychosis usually have their first psychotic break in their late teens/early 20's, often when they leave home and face the stress of school.

Will the market soften at some point?

The letter will also help them to understand that you are not raising the rent just to be greedy but because your cost of ownership has gone up (or at least your liability has) and should soften the blow of the rent increase.

They don’t have the money to ride this out.yes I wanted the market here to soften... at least so I wouldn’t have to fight the bidding wars but what is to come is going to make 2008 look like a party.

I have a triplex where two of the units have water softeners already installed but I do not have space to install an additional water softener in the third unit.

If you want to strengthen the contract and soften your risk, you can have the homeowners agree to offer collateral.

To soften the blow of the rent increases, take care of any maintenance, repair issues immediately and add a few cheap upgrades to the unit, extra shelving for the garage, add an exterior light or replace an outdated one inside.

After a while, they'll think you'll soften up, and let them get away with non payments because you're affiliated with them. 

Disposals, water softeners, whole house humidifiers and fireplaces should all be avoided in rental homes.

Is there one softener for all units or maybe no softener?
