there is a movement in MO to unite all landlords - right now the new group MO REIA or MO Landlords (not formally named yet) has a group on Facebook and on Meetup, just to collect all interested parties together.The hope is to change MO legislation for the better.Right now the person who is the move and shaker on this initiative is Steve Vogel and he is filling committee positions to get the group started and functioning.

I gently remind the applicant that we are looking at a 2BR/1BA house and ask if they really want to live in such a small place. 

It's a huge movement. 

Examples include providing a parking space for a movement-impaired tenant and accepting a guide or service animal in an otherwise “no pets” building. ?

In America, we are blessed with the freedom of capital movement and the property rights are recognized.  

@Andreas MirzaThanks again and I know you as well as the other posters have been gently (most) leading me to the same conclusion.

For tenants that are in place and who are paying and not causing problems or damage, I suggest you make a gentle transition, so you don't lose them. 

Stable, gentle renters are a commodity that should be valued at all cost in this game...and your insight on the subject  has already got me thinking about our property in Las Vegas as UNLV has recently received approval to move out north of the city...right around the corner from our house!!

@Joe Villeneuve  my comments are more directed towards the camp who's motto is" I just want cash flow and appreciation is icing on the Cake"  but its all a personal preference and risk tolerance and historic movement in RE values.And when your born and Raised in the Silicon Valley like myself and started in RE in 1975 I have seen the huge run ups.. so of course I just can't have anything but an appreciation bias for sure..   1975 home in Cupertino were I was raised my parents paid 25k for it.. today its worth close to 2 million and its just a Valley track house nothing special 3/ and 2 with a bonus room and 2 car garage on a 6k sq ft lot...and what you don't have in the bay area is with the very very tiny exception you have NO area that devalued at all...

Some of them need to be gently educated that you won't cry if they leave.And I wouldn't worry about her suing or anything, until/if/when that ever happened.
