cc @Darish D.

When I mentioned this thread his immediate response was it's the hosts responsibility to vet the guest, and further, if the rental is less than 30 days you simply call the cops to get them out if they don't leave.We also got into how some CC and R's prohibit rentals less than 30 days but, as was pointed out, is pretty much irrelevant to the host-guest relationship.If you're on top of things as a host it seems easier than being a CA landlord.  

Never a car loan, never a cc, never a student loan.

Or a quad in a C/C- neighborhood

Then you pay your bills as you normally do with your CC throughout the month.

the first reason is i like to see what they are delinquent with. if it is a student loan or a CC bill that is one thing but if it is repeated car note issues, i pass. a tenant will choose paying the car before the rent every time.

If your funds are limited, you might be able to contact HD or any home improvement stores about applying for a CC which may have 0% interest for new applicants. 

Some of you have never been through a crisis where your lender calls your loan due when you where current and had great cash flow and had all of the 5 cc of credit and want to believe everything is going to be OK in a short time.I hope it is!!

Convenient payment solution with traceability In most situation, you would use CC as your recurring expenses that you can pay it off on your monthly income/cashflow.Fixed LiabilityFor mortgage debt that has a long term maturity (25-30years), it helps to alleviate your cash outlay if you use it right.

Agree with Nathan...contact garbage people and get a new can delivered asap and send a cc to second tenant....but stay out of it with them.
