It's two completely different ways to pay the same money.I don't know, in the end it doesn't matter if you guys get it, I'm just astounded that a group of adults who think they are financially savvy can't get this.

I live in the basement unit of a house and I rent out the upstairs to skinny young adults and if you heard the stomping around that I hear you would be convinced they are all 300+ pounds upstairs. 

But that is because I always treat my tenants as adults with whom I am conducting a mutually beneficial business transaction, not children or monkeys to be "trained."

Then, when they call you, go over all of your criteria again, asking if they believe they would qualify, and did they know they had to pay an application fee for each adult?

Listing all adult occupants on the lease as jointly and severally liable is the right thing to do.

I hate the thought of being an adult who has to "hide" from landlord.

Either the kid gets a chance to be an adult, with everything that includes, or she doesn't. 

And not only that, but if she is doing childcare (there will be a child limit per adult as a guessr54), there are all sorts of state laws and sanctions.And that's great that it's a Mexican (if it is), they'll do a runner if something did happen - and guess who is next in the firing line - the property owner!

Obesity and overindulgence overall, comes to mind:http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2008/07/obes...Study: 86 Percent of Americans Could Be Obese by 2030"Most adults in the U.S. will be overweight or obese by 2030, with related health care spending projected to be as much as $956.9 billion, according to researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.Their results are published in the July 2008 online issue of Obesity."
