But first the background:- Acquired 3 Flat Building in Cook County  Feb 2016- Inherited Section 8 Tenant with lease expiration June 30, 2016- Rents are deposited via Direct Deposit by the Housing Authority of Cook County- Rent is well below market, I'd say by ~$500 / month - Provided 90 day notice to tenant that I would not be renewing lease- Tenant acknowledged and agreed to look for new apartment- 2 weeks ago, tenant said they haven't found a new apartment yet and requested to stay longer. 

Hello all,I cam across a SFR near Rutgers University right near the Cook/Douglas campus.

It's amazing how many people use metal utensils on a nice new nonstick cooking surface....or cut things directly on countertops rather than use a cutting board.

Turns out it's a South Asian tenant, whose wife likes to home cook, frequently making lentil soup.

In fact, it had the old flip down burners on a very shallow tile counter - where you have to flip down a burner if you wanted to cook. 

Our prelim scoring is based on objective non-discriminatory items, such as if they are smokers, if they have lived in the area (have roots), have held job for over a year, income, how long they have stayed at previous addresses, how long they intend to stay, Facebook/google search, unverified look at criminal, bankruptcy, evictions, bank accounts.  

I would look to add value for this higher rent by allowing easier lease breaking, providing monthly cleaner ( also a way to keep eyes on the property) monthly home cooked meal in the home and a driver for one night a month.

I think renting to a former manager is kind of like dealing with a former smoker.  

Smokers please do not apply.WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS AD?

. $30 well spent and some really happy tenants.Actually, some of our tenants cooked us dinner when we were working over there recently.
