On the other hand, I bought a 5 plex a couple years ago and kept a elderly woman at 83 and kept her rent below market as I felt sorry for her and her place was in perfect shape.

It's unfortunate, but it seems like every wo/man has to learn his/her own lesson. 

If a woman is pregnant or someone has knee replacement surgery, they can get a handicap parking placard . . . but there's an end date because we have an expectation of healing!

I'm sounding like I think I'm a wise old woman or something here, LOL. 

But, then I read the responses, and your reply that this is a woman with two kids, and I changed my mind.She does sound like a woman fixing up her "home" so she can live in it. 

My job was to collect as much as possible and get rid of the problem tenants.My favorite excuse for not having the rent was from a 60-something year old woman who was really proud of her newly tattooed eyelids, so she wouldn't have to apply eyeliner anymore. 

As for the bathroom humor, I have had lots of boys around over the years, and it never fails to amaze me at the laughs they get from bathroom humor - as a woman, I'e changed so many dirty diapers in my life, I'd prefer not to have to think about them again!

Sometimes someone who is just so benign, so calm or even boring with perfect score and references - can be a man/woman really into dramatic lover relationships. 

A good landlord is also not a 'yes' man/woman, a good landlord is able to distinguish between needed repairs and selective repairs and is still able to say 'no' while still keeping the tenant happy by conveying the why.

what about the woman that has 6 kids with different last names?
