I was thinking of giving him 3 options.Option 1: He switches to a month to month lease changing to a weekly rent rather than monthly, the new lease will have different rules (ex. such as agreeing to a cleaning schedule and a liter schedule or trash needs to be picked up and placed in a trash can every 12 hours, human waste can not be stored in containers)Option 2: He moves out at the end of March, I keep the security deposit as rent and he does not have to pay February's rent and late fees.Option 3: I'll give him $400 to move out 3 days after we have this discussion.Thank you for any suggestions, I would like to handle this delicately as I don't want a squatter living with me.

Security brought some learning lessons for us.

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

Securing funding has been challenging, particularly because my business documents reflect low revenue from only one duplex, and I am currently between jobs.I have identified a reasonably priced piece of land and have saved a small portion of the funds from my duplex sale to invest in this venture.

I had two lines of credit one unsecured for 5 million ( check book) and another for 10 million that we would secure them up with .. but you need time to do that bank required appraisal etc before we could tag the secured line and even at that they only lent 72% in these commercial loan structures..

I would echo the post about security. 

Personally I would pass but if you go forward I would do a lot of research on the group you are renting to and get a very large security deposit to cover damage. 

PM's will keep all late fees, they hold the security deposits so they collect all the interest on security deposits. 

And if a property is owner occupied, how can you secure a loan with a hard money lender not being able to view the home to estimate repairs?

.- Logically, there really is no additional security provided with both keyed doorknob & deadbolt, but a deadbolt is more secure than a keyed doorknob.- Since you need a key to lock a deadbolt when you leave the premises, tenant's can't lock their key(s) in the home and then pester us to come let them back in.--- Tenants can still lose their keys outside their home:(
