Tenants are like children.

The reasons being, rent by room is technically a boarding home style of operation, think halfway house, elderly care facility, childrens home, etc. 

No women, no children, no pets. 

We have found that our properties reliably attract families with children who stay for years.

We have small children so I think the benefits would really need to outweigh the negatives to make a move like this.

My exit plan is to die, and leave this mess to my children.

It turned out my ins co renter was a complete slob - mostly because she left the home to her older children and was never there herself. and then became borderline hostile toward the end.

People have furniture, antiques, and children running around!

Some would argue in support of a neighborhood in close proximity to downtown Sacramento such as the homes off of Lighthouse Dr, others would want to attract families with elementary school children who prefer homes in Bridgeway Lakes near Bridgeway Island Elementary School due to it's higher Great Schools rating vs.

The fenced yard is a positive for small children (no added value) and dog owners ($50 month added value).
