As a matter of principle, I never reward bad behavior and will spend five times his deposit (if need be) to make sure he does not get the deposit back.

They have a verbal agreement for a month-to-month tenancy followed by behavior confirming said tenancy, a breach of the agreement, and a notice to quit.Kinda hard to walk all that back now and claim he's a guest.

., write a new lease with the two of them) or just keep the one lease with the existing tenant and make it clear to her that she is responsible for her roommates behavior, etc?

If you follow this consistently it has been my experience that you will instill the correct behaviors in the tenant and yourself.

So many people are already on there and their behavioral targeting is pretty powerful.

Instead of passing a law punishing everyone for the bad behavior of the few, lets make sure to ramp up the laws against the few and prevent them from getting to stay landlords in Lakeland, FL.

Thank you in advance.Theres an unfortunate component to the anti STR sentiment in California, as a long time resident of the Sierras we've seen alot of bad behavior by renters.

Because I was able to muster a reasonable response to irrational behavior.

I think it's all about incentivizing the behavior that you want.   

It only encourages poor behavior in my opinion and there are plenty of programs that help tenants in need here in Chicago anyways.
