So while yes, they may not be able to ORDER them to pay, a little unwanted attention from higher ups tend to get those bills paid quick. 

With that being said some of you who talk about putting in a bunch of offers at 50% are wasting your time and the agents time and if I were the agent i'd tell you to either pound sand or pay me for my time until we got a deal if you really think anyone is going to take 50% of what they were asking.To get deals I believe it's key to 1) establish credibility with whomever you want to work with.

Furthermore, should a 100 pound woman be able to "handle herself" against a drugged up meth user?

Not daily because of the money but because it would pack on some serious pounds!

Don't be penny wise and pound foolish.

If color bothers them that much then maybe it's a simple way to filter out unwanted tenants.

(Later during the lawsuit, my attorney would tell me how Stupid that was to do.)When I came back by a few months later to check on him, my new unwanted tenant, he was pulling out of the driveway, driving his car.

Because if your goal is to look like a fool, then you nailed it.Before continuing to spew negativity and unwanted opinions, why don’t you let the community know who you are and what your experience in real estate is so that we can know whether to listen to you or not.

If the items have little or no value (i.e. a 1994 17" television that weighs 70 pounds or a large chest of drawers from the 70's that's missing two handles and a drawer) then you can dispose of them as you see fit.

Instead of going by breed, you could restrict by size and age, say nothing under a year of age, or over 30 pounds.
