I had one woman apply to rent from me and then learned her boyfriend just got out of prison for sexual assault.it doesn't matter who is footing the bill.

I get them for free as an accommodation.. but i dont abuse it and I could never get them on all the properties we were bidding on when i did sheriff sales.. 

They might just turn around and sue you for abuse of process.

I would prefer shared laundry in basement, but afraid if people fall down the stairs, start storing items in basement, keeping door open and neighbors may start using it and abuse it, playing around in basement even though I could section off the area by putting walls but still worried.If going in unit hookup route.

The cabin has great features for both.  2/2 (no garage) on a man made lake, private HOA community, on a bus route for the local schools.  

After all inspections done, you'll get removal of contingencies and then, if Buyer changed their mind - your Seller gets EM.Even when people are still living in the property, they allow for the Buyer to get inside - for example, their mom travelled from another state to see the house her kids are buying.During the time of contingency/pending sale it's not totally Sellers house anymore - it's more like Buyers house.Of course, you advice not to abuse the right to check it out but it's understandable that people want to see it again - especially if it's first time homebuyers or much more expensive house than their current.They could get cold feet without seeing the house if you're afraid of that, but if they see something in the basement like water after rain - it's better to agree on remediation during waiting for the mortgage commitment rather than at final walk through.That's might be a deal breaker at the last day,  while during the waiting time you could work it out. 

Some months the bill will be more than $400 and some months less but it should average out.A couple tips: increase the bill by about 10% to cover tenants that abuse the utilities ($110 per tenant, $40 extra for you).

Still in the process of fixing up the main floor unit from the abuse it took from previous renters.  

I don't care how well you rehab the house and if U pull all permits if your tenant base is abusing and transient your goose is cooked before you ever started.. 

I wish it was easier to fire bad tenants in Ontario :-)Besides the verbal abuses, a landlord has a choice on other hardships as well.
