People can sue for anything now a days (and typically will) but at least forming an LLC can buffer unnecessary personal losses.  

I am intimately familiar with his/her history and with the functional limitations imposed by his/her disability.

Limiting unnecessary risk with bad tenants in the early stages of my investing is important to me.Property Management that I found in this area listed “one month’s rent and 12%” as there price.

For those of us who don't need one though, do not use them -- it is money wasted on an unnecessary middleman.

This tells me that you wasted unnecessary time on this applicant.As a former property manager, I learned that having strict criteria was great for not only avoiding any fair housing issues, but it also allowed me to easily and quickly reject bad applicants.It's perfectly legal to have as one of your criteria that all tenants have tax returns showing they can afford the unit. 

@Kimberly Kesterke charge for unnecessary trips.

I remember reading a post like this a bit ago, where the city in WI didn't even record it or anything.. it would have been completely impossible to find that information out in any way, and yet they somehow still have authority to impose the order.

On top of that you can't even guarantee your new tenant will stay long enough at that $50/mo increase to payoff your unnecessary $4,000 turnover cost. 

If you do not do so, I intend to sue you in small claims court, and I will ask the judge to require you to reimburse me for all rent I have paid that was unnecessary due to your lack of attempting to re-rent the unit, plus any punitive damages allowed and my court costs.Sincerely,Your SisterI bet he knocks it off.
