If you make a tight cut in a door way and then the floor expands it will apply unwanted pressure and you could get air pockets under the floor also.

That being said it is pretty hard to prove occupancy and remove unwanted extra tenants.

Blades are unpleasantly expensive.

I get unwanted junk mail every day, but I sometimes keep it and the yellow letter seems to be a nuisance to all but a few so I thought this would be about the same.

On the other hand if you don't do something you could die a really really unpleasant death, it's that simple.

That higher terrain can be unpleasant if its windy.Copper is also a good area if you learning.

Unpleasant, but not a killer.Is your dad REALLY willing to become the landlord?

The subject says it all, since this seems to be unwanted behavior: Why do all posts from non-colleagues have a "Follow Edd" link?

My lease states that it goes month to month at end of the one year term.My experience so far has been that tenants want a new one year lease, rather than month to month, because they're afraid of being told to leave or having the rent increased.Normally I would offer the option of a new lease, but these particular tenants have been late (beyond the grace period) with the rent a couple of times now, and there have been a couple of other minor issues.Would you take a chance on them moving out because of the lack of a long term lease, or take a chance of a future eviction/unpleasantness on a new one year lease, if things continue to go south in terms of on-time payments?

@Eric Rohver - Is this a 'one-off' attempt to find a deal of some sort or are you beginning a campaign to locate vacant, unwanted properties with equity?
