Assuming what you've posted is true, this person is seriously mentally unstable.

That's what those under-educated so-called financial expert fools advising HUD gravely FAILED IN THEIR LACK OF INTELLIGENCE TO FIGURE OUT BEFORE CREATING THIS brow-beating, emotionally-destructive, mentally painful, soul despairing REVERSE MORTGAGE INDUSTRY! 

I have had to evict one guy for non payment of rent and evicting a woman on Tues for non payment of rent and disturbing the peace with her mental issues.

Has anyone approached their rentals with this mentality?
