I fully screen every adult applicant and have every applicant on the lease to make my ability to collect in the event of a default more secure.

In our case, both our rental units have larger adult dogs - the larger ones tend to be better trained than the smaller ones in our experience.As for the pit bull, ask your insurance agency.

They wear adult diapers!

I consider myself to be very lucky because I bought early and I did not read any rei books.Yes many can say that ...my hs econ teacher back in 1999 would tell us how stupid his brother was and how he even did an adult film because that's the type of low life.  

@John Teachout 5000 BTU isn’t much and won’t properly cool a 10’x10’ that has electronics and more than one adult.

I kid here, but having to read you two grown adults name call each other, I might just stay away from military (that's sarcasm, okay!).

The house would sell for around 70K right now because they just couldn’t afford to keep up with maintenance and on top of that had an adult kid with substance abuse problems who has trashed it.

Their adult child asked if they could be on the lease and they would be responsible to pay the rent.

I ask; When are you looking to move, how many people would live there, do you have any pets, do you meet the criteria of 600 credit score, 3 times income to rent, no felony convictions, and no evictions, and are you willing to pay a $40 application fee for all adults to check that list? 

Yes, being a debt free millionaire is way better than being bankrupt, and living a monastic lifestyle sure beats being a drug addict or a prostitute, but going bankrupt and losing everything because he got burned using high interest 90 day loans with no guarantee of renewal like Dave did, then declaring that all debt is bad because of this and saying that 30 year fixed rate loans should be avoided, is like someone who goes out with an ex-con member of a biker gang - gets sexually assaulted by the gang - and then declares that sex is bad and no one should have sex.
