Doing this a few times really changed my perceptions.

Converting people from a "poor" mindset to one of "contributing member of society" is a process.  

I agree with your perception of the market at this time: I wouldn't invest now in that area.

And vice/versa.Ofcourse everyone wants it to work but many people have different perceptions of how things could and should be done.If we have a client that is not a fit, why drag it out.

Even more than just that, I really believe there is a strong chance a judge will have a different perception of this scenario than they have for most cases of squatting.  

But all societies have at least an unspoken order of citizens and socio-economic classes.

You're discounting the very real possibility they could get low bono or pro bono representation through either the local legal aid society, who typically hates landlords, or a local chapter of the ACLU, if they are particularly sob-worthy people.But that is beside the point, as I think your recommendation for question reform is a good one.

I haven't even looked at whether this is allowed in our city and even if city allows I highly doubt our historical preservation society would approve...last year the house across from my rental got into a legal mess with the HPS on the window trim color...ugh...In this property I have six spots.Last tenant parked in that spot didn't complain.I was in that spot for a couple of weeks last October and didn't notice and I notice everything. 

Of course, you cannot discriminate as a matter of law, I am not speaking about dumping potential/capable tenants due to personal issues or perceptions of people because of who or what they are.  

Mess & style of tenant will 'color' the perception of the prospect.Move'm out, clean up/paint as necessary.
