.:...Prospective Tenant: That's not a problem, it will probably look like this anyway after we've been here a few months.You do have to give some credit there for honesty :)

@Michael Delpier, great introduction and thank you for honesty.  

I never brought that up in any communication except here, to be honest I need her out of there anyways so I can rehab it and rent it at fair market value.

Honesty may be the beat policy.

To be honest, I hadn't really thought about looking at the tenants' ranks but now that you mention it, that makes a lot of sense.

Now to be honest I have responsible high quality tenants that I have personally selected over many years. 

I appreciate your honesty and feedback.  

What's more likely, to be honest, is this tenant continues to have other druggies hanging around, and he doesn't take care of the property (trash/chairs left in the yard, etc.), and any other decent tenants the OP has will move out because they don't want to be around that type of behavior or activity. 

I have the firm belief that if you are doing the right thing and treating people right and acting with honesty and integrity, then the right thing will happen.

I usually laugh when I see the things they add and think to myself "I would never charge them for that anyway", but in all honesty they have no way of knowing what kinds of things *I* consider damage.
