Stay out of domestic drama.

Sometimes a great tenant can move in and then get involved with a reality TV drama queen who screams and throws furniture in the hall (happened to me more than once). 

But, charge a higher rent for the privilege of doing so, with the extra benefit of no extra drama for you.It's not about being benevolent to people who want to buy a home, blah blah - that's not your job - to care about doing them favors because they want to buy a home.  

Then there is almost always drama with the ex coming around and yelling matches.As stated, whenever you find yourself "working" to make a tenant qualify - just deny them.  

Hopefully, that will be enough.If the PM in this scenario gets another fee for finding the next tenant, it would explain why they are promoting the drama and the idea that these tenants should be gotten rid of, even if they say they are willing, after all, to go through with their contract if they aren't allowed to get out of it without penalty.Unfortunately, so many PMs profit from problems, and so they can be tempted to actually incite them.

Forget the 15k and treat it as money well spent for the gift they gave you--your life.I'm sorry for being harsh.

My position is I just can't get involved in my tenants dramas.

The more units under 1 roof the more likely you are to have social drama and management headaches.

Or face the drama and consequences, which will be many.

Drama is written all over that one.
