Even if you just had one tiny old lady living upstairs, it can sound like an elephant when you're downstairs, and some people are more sensitive to the sounds of someone walking around above them - I'm one of them, which is why I only rent the top floor unit when I rent.Is there any way you could get them to swap apartments? 

I rented mostly really tiny studios, so there were few couples, but the ones I had apply after the above example all had decent credit or no credit - I had a lot of immigrant techies apply and I didn't worry if they had zero credit.

Even though I was very friendly, I was also very firm on the building policies, which was really important in a 26 unit building shaped like a "U" made up of mainly tiny studios, where many of them could hear everything that was going on in the other units. 

They will notice every tiny thing and forever view the unit as a unit that hasn't been maintained properly, and that the landlord is a slumlord and they will regularly complain about all kinds of stuff.Whereas, if you wait to show the unit when it's smelling like fresh paint and is all clean, they will have an impression that it's well-maintained and problem-free. 

Put it wall to wall throughout the entire unit, except maybe the bathroom.I used to manage an old apartment building that was bare bones - a good price in a good neighborhood, clean, well-maintained (great manager ha ha), but mostly really tiny studios, no washer/dryers even in the building at all, showers only, no disposal - you get the picture. 

The first one was on the Canadian border in WA in a tiny town that was struggling and in the boonies, basically, and a 45 minute drive to my job in perfect weather in Bellingham, WA. 

However in two with tiny counters we kept the laminate and the tenants don't seem to mind.

She's charging $600/week for a Tiny Home (480 s.f.) 

But when you talk about price point for the nice apartments compared to splitting a house with 2 buddies it's a huge gap.Example: 4 bedroom apartment you'll pay $750 per person at IQ on Bruce B Downs. 2 or 3 of those guys could get together and get a house for less than $500 a person and have a nice spot with the entire house, yard, driveway.... instead of a tiny apt.

Not even a tiny bit.I'm sure Grove appreciates you taking some of the negative attention off of him, though.
