I agree if you're sharing a couch in a place with a leaky roof (that I assume the landlord won't fix?)

I agree with Brian, if you want to be a good landlord and not just a slumlord ask yourself what is the number that gets yourself off the couch to get the property repaired and to keep it up nice so you get good renters and lower vacancy.

There are a couple things I’m waiting for: picking up the couch that is outside (now under about a foot of snow I guess) and, yes, returning the keys.

I just hired a lady now too to do my direct mail, $10/hr but I had to drop it to $5 cuz I can't afford the training required, which I've stipulated can only work if she can get it by so many hrs(30-50) otherwise she'd have to wait til I get someone on the kitchen/baths to get decent pay or continue going to the labor pool and she's living on a friend's couch and just told me on her way out if she can't figure it out she's going to -I don't even want to say it.

But they do seem like the type that won't pay, then I'll come back in a couple weeks to start remodeling the place and they're sitting on the couch smoking pot.

Living in a motel is a personal choice, and frankly it sounds way better than sleeping on Mom's couch, although that also wouldn't be a reason for a landlord to decline an application in NY. 

I also found my fence collapsing into the neighbors yard, a burnt couch and they decided to use my property as a trash pit between the last time I seen the property and when I moved in.

Living in a place that is in a constant state of repair never gives you the couple hours to rest and lay on the couch watching NCIS.

I'm surprised you didn't yell out "put me in couch!

Can I do this if the Airbnb I list is also my primary residence, we were thinking of buying pull out couches to add to the number of beds in the house?
