It only causes work for me :) This came about because (all happened this summer)Situation 1- a tenant gave 17 days notice that they were moving out 3 months 17 days early because their house closed early than expected.Situation 2- 4 months into a 18 months lease a tenant gives the landlord 45 days notice they were moving out because they had a house under contract to buy.I also didn't think it was right for the tenants to be able to "break the lease" but a landlord wasn't able too.I follow the due unto others as you want done to yourself philosophy.

It meant that later when we became parents my wife could quit her job to be a stay at home mom -- it's not for everyone I know, but it's what she wanted and we couldn't have done it if we still had all of our other debt.But what I do regret is that we did buy into the whole DR "only borrow for your primary residence, if even then" philosophy and as a result we spent most of the recession on the sidelines missing out on deals that are probably gone forever. 

If it's in an even halfway decent area in SJ I would not under estimate the appreciation value, plus you have a lower property tax base too, which is no small potatoes in CA.My philosophy is always keep decent property in the Bay Area!
