@JayHinrichs Baltimore City is like a whole other planet.  

Unless you can find absolutely no other tenant on the planet who is better, and you absolutely can't wait any longer for any tenant, even if they are terrible.Otherwise, be firm in your criteria.  

I guess my personal recommendation (not a lawyer/legal scholar/judge or offering any sort of advice to anyone who is residing on the planet Earth) is to perform your inspections on schedule and address issues at that time.

Just keep repeating that you love them, want them in your life, but the former situation was too toxic for you.

The majority of posts here, and on other sites are about choosing and vetting prospective tenants-how does it help to throw a toxic tenant back into the pool to screw the next landlord who depends on an accurate credit check to approve the next occupant.

My favorite tenants on the planet are law students. 

There is no such thing as toxic vs nontoxic mold. 

@Leah Clayton Sutton That sounds really organized and I'm the worst accountant on the planet.... what's the class tracking system?

Some varieties of mold are toxic and may cause adverse reactions in certain individuals.Landlord’s Disclosure (initial)(A)Presence of mold and/or moisture hazards (initial one below):______ Landlord is aware of present or past mold and/or moisture hazards in the housing unit.

And the odds are very high that the inspection report will say the mold is not toxic and list things the tenant has to do to avoid the mold.
