One couple on their anniversary spilled wine, leaving a huge stain on the carpet.

Will:How we are responding depends upon the particular situation.1) For lease terms ending in April or May (which are not renewing) we are politely saying "no" to any early releases.2) If the anniversary date is May 01 or June 01 and tenants and the leases are renewing (tenants did not serve notice of termination 3+ months in advance) we are telling them we will revisit the situation once we have a better idea on how prolonged the restrictions will be and whether the Universities fall session is in question.  

My wife is a pyro, she loves to build big fires and every fall we go to TN or NC Smokey Mountains for our anniversary,  she will only stay at a cabin that has an outdoor fire pit.  

The window to fire them without penalty is 30 days prior to anniversary.

In similar fashion, consider the impact of California’s Proposition 47 that in effect legalizes stealing up to $950:https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-prop-47-shoplifting-theft-crime-statewidehttps://www.laadda.com/lies-behind-selling-prop-47-57/https://www.latimes.com/local/crime/la-me-prop47-anniversary-20151106-story.htmlAnd yes, The Gray Lady herself will vehemently disagree:https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/21/us/california-incarceration-reduction-penalties.htmlWhat I find sanctimonious is the bold, unapologetic attitude of the Oakland City Council to pass a law that merely appears good, kind, and compassionate (so as to fool and maybe even humiliate the opposition into silence) but in practice erodes away at a vital foundations designed to keep their city safe and strong.

You can say to them:I know you love the house and you want to own it.If you make payments on this property for long period time I will help you get the deed.There will be slight rent increases over time, but this way you can be a homeowner and get the deed.Now if you are a honest person and want to help people, this might be a good idea to get long-term rentals and even be a long-distance landlord.The tenants can pay you cash deposits into a bank every month, you give them bank deposit slips.Every 6 months to 12 months combined look at the property if you're out of the area, and on the anniversary date let them know how many more years they got to go to the deed.I know everybody wants to get a free and clear property and buy-and-hold, but you get a good cash flow out of the property, after expenses, you might want to consider this is a way to help immigrants.

Happy anniversary and congrats on your journey!

@Rob Kemp FYI the radio silence from Dan is because he's on vacation for his anniversary.
