And since the tax issue is not a problem, I wouldn't worry about it.And as far as tenants getting an entitled attitude - first of all, someone in nursing school will be very busy and very tired. 

I got into real estate 5 years ago with this attitude and have grown to 9 properties by taking risks.

They will have the attitude that they are overpaying rent, they will complain about everything, they will think you are the evil landlord.I would get rid of them, fix the place up, and find new tenants who think your place is a good deal.  

Two different families, different years, same human attitude.

Sometimes, kindness and understanding will shame people out of their bad attitudes and behavior.

You need to find out what the payment standard is for where your property is, and ask the housing authority to raise the rent to the payment standard.Here's the document that shows the payment standards for Chicago:http://www.thecha.org/assets/1/22/2016_payment_sta...I realize they may say "no," but if you go talk to them with the knowledge of the 2016 payment standards, and a nice but firm attitude that you need to get market rents or you'll have to leave the program - you'll have a better chance of getting it, I think.

Unless someone has ever had to do that, I think it's really easy to have a bad attitude about tenants.

So, let's be clear about how poor someone is before they are the bad kind of poor.I think the first thing that needs to be addressed is the pervasive attitude that poor people have somehow created their own poverty and are simple-minded people that need to have their finances governed by someone else.Just look at the shows showing celebrities trying to buy food for the amount of money allocated to food stamp recipients to see how impossible it is for them to eat on that amount of money for food. 

First impression is pretty good based on both appearance and attitude.

Her text message is filled with attitude, and assures me "you will get your money".
