All my decisions are based on my business skills and knowledge of human behaviour.

They hop from one dwelling to another in a parasitic pursuit of a host, enticing you with the promise of the simplest long-term behaviour of paying their rent at the beginning of each month and keeping your house clean, just enough to ensnare their unfortunate host, no matter how good his intentions or faithful his actions.They show their welfare stubs during their application to indicate that all they have to do is sit and breathe, and out of your own tax dollars will flow in the rent to which they agreed in writing.

This makes my decision very simple when combined with my desire to see those I consider to be criminal in nature to face the music.To ignore the fact that their actions are, in my opinion, criminal does not allow me to turn a blind eye regardless of the time or cost associated with me taking action to "punish".I know very few landlords are willing to take the moral high ground in dealing with reprehensible bad tenant behaviour but I am one.

Not only that, if they are homeless or crooks for all the wrong reasons, then that couple will tend to reinforce each other's behaviour.   

Due to the angry texts and phone calls from them, not to mention their other criminal behaviour (assaults, shoplifting with child in tow), I don’t want to reason with them or talk in person any more. 

Once again and for the last time I offer to upload the documentation confirming the above should you really require it.Policy Provisions: This utter divergence from the truth is all I have come to expect as the standard behaviour from the companies you represent.

This is normal human behaviour brought about through association with others I suggest you adopt the approach to business other Texas landlords advocate as it will be impossible for you to operate otherwise without having to swim up stream.

@Mike Cumbie  You  cannot predict tenant behaviour in the way you are claiming.In 2014 we filed eviction against 2 tenants.

Any landlord that interviews a applicant and encounters a undesirable behaviour, attitude etc. has the right to reject. 

FHA and Fannie Mae HomeReady both allow for the use of boarder income, but probably about 95% of people can't document the history necessary -- either the rent is paid in cash, it's mixed in with a bunch of other interpersonal financial stuff, or it's just a story with no paperwork to back it up.
