@Dan V.Your inspector is lazy as a pet raccoon and your contractor gave you a “I really don’t want to do this job but for this price I will” quote.

When the eggs hatch they slide over it and die too.For use around Humans and Animals it must be marked FOOD GRADE Diatomaceous Earth.the non-food-grade type is deadly to humans and animals (so know there are two different kinds).You can dust it in the carpets, outdoors, and pet it onto cats and dogs and yourself.

If they start throwing parties, smoking in the unit, bring in a pet, start listing it on Airbnb or subletting the unit.

  - Make sure they understand each others schedules, what are their hobbies, do they like pets, two of my nurses ended up becoming great friends and now travel together on assisgnmentsSome pros you have going on!

Do you have any pets?

Personal pet peeve I guess.

@Viktor Singh I generally allow pets.

Damage, pets, utilities, people living there not on the lease?

Wow Becky, that's a lot--Maybe way to much for a short term goal.You don't want to end up worse off than you are now--which could happen if things don't go as you planned them.Maybe tackling the big dog on the playing field first and then revisit the other stuff a little later.The Big Dog being Domestic Violence...you were not put on this Earth to be his Punching Bag whenever he is having a bad day.Maybe you can get him to go to Domestic Violence counseling.If you split up, you can together with the courts help decide about the house, pets, kids, visitation for both of you, and child support payments, and possibly spousal support payments. 

I’ll take my peeps with their pets and bad credit scores and keep them forever.
