In Florida it is not uncommon to get $250 per bed per week ($1000 per month).In Florida there is a lot of oversight to halfway houses now and there is a state regulated organization named FARR Florida Association of Recovery Residences. 

It's also not uncommon for them to own free-and-clear, which generates more cashflow. 

It's also very UN-common for them to actually file those lawsuits--primarily because it's difficult and expensive to do this, and most of the time, the money and time they'd spend filing a lawsuit is more than the lawsuit would be worth if they won (and they often have no chance of winning).Having said that, its also common for NON-deadbeat tenants to threaten lawsuits against deadbeat landlords--in which case, the tenant may actually follow through and file and win a lawsuit (depending on how bad the landlord was about violating relevant laws/regulations).Assuming that your communications with the tenant about late rent have always been professional, and follow any relevant local/state laws and regulations about landlord behavior, then it's very doubtful that repeatedly asking a tenant to pay their late rent could be considered "harassment" (I'm not a lawyer, though--so you'll want to do your own research and not take my word as the absolute truth).

It's not uncommon for landlords to write that it cannot be rented out in the lease, then charge more to the master tenant with a wink and a "I won't be inspecting the unit," to avoid any knowledge of the unit being leased illegally on the part of the landlord..

Just remember that hard money is expensive and it's not uncommon to lose money on your first deal.

this is not uncommon.

It is not uncommon for them to reconcile at the last minute and then she wants to bail on the lease.

The cell phone company representative told me this type of thing is not too uncommon.

Bottles of urine were not uncommon, unfortunately.
