And some of those landlords feel a moral sense of superiority over you and I. 

@Andrew Morales Awesome deal Andrew!

I would say you have at least a moral obligation to the community to prevent an attractive nuisance at best and a serious degradation of the neighborhood at worst.

Most people realize there is a moral duty to pay for the things you consume, including your housing, whether you are buying a house and paying the bank or renting a house and paying a landlord.

I feel like it wouldn't be right morally to just go through with a deal by myself, you know? 

@Andrew Morales, you did an excellent job with this!

Moral of the story: get your ducks in a row ASAP.

I personally would treat the ones not paying rent as squatters and evict as soon as legally/morally possible.

I am not capable of shutting out the others in the situation- I completely realize this is not good for business, but I am more concerned with my morals honestly.Any advice??
