although we throw a flip in on occasion. 

Jason Terrell I’m not saying I’ve done it in the past on two occasions but on those occasions I definitely didn’t get my realtor to show me the property then unlock a window on ground floor without them noticing.

On several occasions, I have seen a rude or irresponsible tenant ruin her evening. 

They have been great on multiple occasions.

I've had to use them on a few occasions (I'm a light sleeper).

We have {non student} rentals where our preference is for periodic monthly leases and we ask no premium for month-2-month; nor could we likely command it in those situations.We have other rentals where the market is predominately month-2-month in which we will occasionally offer a small discount (3-5%) to secure a longer term (1yr+) lease depending on where we see the supply/demand in the market heading.We also have a property where, by default, we use annual leases, but, on occasion, have inked shorter term leases or periodic monthly leases at a small premium (5 - 8%) over the rent rate for the annual lease.It is only in the student market - and then predominately with our furnished units - where we can command a 15% premium for a lease tied to the academic year.

My bank account during the Christmas holidays was breached because my Facebook was hacked on a couple occasions.

If your lease is anything like my rental lease it says that the tenant is responsible for YOUR legal fees and court costs so you should be bringing a court action against them for non-payment of rent and they would be responsible for your back rent AND your attorney costs.Dealing with attorneys gets expensive but it is a necessary evil on occasion.

One tenant refused access on 1 occasion and the key was missing on the second try (likely a realtor trying to make sure there was less competition), but we made an offer based on the other two units.Some areas have mandatory rental inspections, so I would check to make sure the property is current.  

The house is the home of your tenant, and your tenant has rights, like having visitors coming to stay on occasion, and there is not a single thing you can and do about it.
