.:)A 24-month lease is coming up for renewal for one of our properties and before I agree to renew with the tenant(s) I wanted to check if someone has been in a similar situation as this case may be a bit complex...I leased my property to an elderly couple, a sister of the wife. 

steve, i think you are right..http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/apa/3657809908.htmland i just talked to the realtor to get some more feedback. she said one person mentioned the shared driveway. most people call her to "see the house". she tells them "no, you show me you are interested by giving me an application, then i will show it to you".i agree with her. we have shown it maybe 20 times without any luck. and that does not count how many times she is has shown it.she said the main road deters parents with kids. the bungalow deters elderly people.oh, and she does tell them "available for rent to own",so that's good..

Elderly buyers, excited, , went to the closest realtor,  and  broker to give us  a contract (they were afraid to leave town without us knowing they were serious:(  In fact, when they entered the office and said they wanted a contract drawn on a house they love, he  (not unusual) asked them if he could take them out to show them some houses.  

My concern is that every time I drive by the house (it's on the way home from my full-time job) is that there has been 0 work done to the exterior of the house.I've been trying to stay patient about this deal as the sellers are elderly and they live out of state, so they are essentially having their realtor manage the rehab,but I'm starting to get frustrated at this point as the seller has had ample opportunities to bail on the deal but has continued to say they will get the repairs done.

I am renting a place w/ a "tub" but it's actually one of those elderly sit down tubs that is basically worthless to me.

These young folks have different priorities than the middle age or elderly folks.

., rentals 1k s.f. per.Entire property vacant for several years (elderly gentleman purchased in 2000) and did absolutely nothing!

She explains that the problem with that is that her mom is elderely, and that her and her family is trying to convince her to move with family where she would be tooken care of, but is having a hard time convincing her. 

An elder couple won’t climb the stairs, a young professional couple won’t pay for that extra bedroom.So yes, it’s a bit difficult.  

And if they are elderly, then it could be more.
