They are happy they don’t have to deal with urine smells, incessant barking, neighbor’s overly friendly dog jumping all over them. 

@Kevin Snow  Good job - and WELCOME!

(The way we went straight from a foot of snow to 90 degrees, if he doesn't have AC he might be escaping over to her place.)Start by saying that it's okay if he is living there, you just need to know about it, so she doesn't feel like you're out to get her, then talk and figure out the situation.

Tenants responsible for mowing front yard and plowing snow.3.

BUT, winter is coming, and in my opinion it will be much easier to try and figure out vacant properties in the winter, because they wont get snow removed right a way...

I was at Episode 180 when I started over at the beginning and now am up to the 30's now. 

I'm thinking of declaring a boundary dispute and suing several times for this and that to make sure he's still here shovelling snow this winter and tending his acre for many years.

Mass Housing's appraisal process is a lot easier too.If you can stay south of the Mass Pike and out of the Worcester hills, you'll have less snow in the winter. 

Of course there is snow and ice which can be a liability for a landlord.

Some students find it easier to pay it all up front since they have new found loan dispersement money, then can then budget accordingly for beer, POF premium, and netflix.I write in the lease they need to take care of snow removal and lawn care, though I provide a mower.
