A more recent situation was a tenant of five years, only 38 years old, but he had a minor brain injury and literally called me and the police about a dozen times over a three-week period, claiming the woman upstairs was locked in a closet and her boyfriend was threatening to kill her.

Second, if you have multiple, unrelated tenants (like the boyfriend/girlfriend/travel nurse) situation, I see potential trouble on the horizon.

My boyfriend and I own a duplex directly across the river from St.

My boyfriend and I are planning to make a trip down there later this year.Being aware of the flooding area is great insights thank you!

You don't ever want to accept a renter and then let them move in an unknown person because that's how many renters will sneak in their sex-offender boyfriend or drug-dealing cousin.

I live with my boyfriend, two sons age 12 and 17, and three dogs in a beautiful rural area of norther Harford County MD ( about 40 minutes north of Baltimore).

My boyfriend wanted to move to OKC and I want to start investing in real estate.

My boyfriend and I have been saving for a couple of years.

BrianNothing prevents tenant from running the water, kicking holes in walls and door, or other vandalism.However, these things seldom happen as retribution.More likely, a tenant fills up an inflatable pool every other day in the summer, or fails to report that the kitchen drain is leaking, or that the boyfriend beats her up every weekend and busting up the place, or that tenant lets a dog do his business on the carpet, or overflows the tub because they fell asleep.While a good tenant will agree to a fair water policy; the court will typically throw out the policy in an eviction.Keep in mind that you can get a leak notification from water department via “clear-reads” through the mycleveland water website.Usually bad tenants are multi-dimensional... they tend to follow a pattern... low credit score, extension criminal background hits such as driving with suspended license, expired plates, drugs, panning the rent late, refusing to pay the water, violating trash pickup guidelines, police calls by the neighbors, no-show for service calls, removing smoke retractor batteries for the kids toys, not replacing burned out lightbulbs, not taking care of the yard (in a single family”, busting blinds and screens, etc. 

Turns out that she is wanting a letter because the lease includes her boyfriend, she won’t qualify for food stamps with his income.
