There is an ongoing thread about day care at a rental:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/109391-advice-needed-residential-tenant-w-a-daycare-insurance-headache-helpI didn't want to hijack it but I thought a more generalized discussion would be helpful to me and a few others.I also made it a point to tell applicants I do not wish to conduct business at my propertyHowever there are some gray areas, and I basically made my rules looking at the nuisance factors...not so much liabilities, and now looking at that thread, I may have to rethink this.You see, I would not have allowed the day care simply because a half dozen moms picking up and dropping off at the same time would cause a parking jam and inconvenience.On the other hand, I have told tenants who occasionally allow "friends" to drop off a kid for them to babysit its ok.

Seemed seamless to me.So I guess I am just having trouble sifting through the gray area between.

The Investor answers tend to be somewhat creative, a little different, a lot of gray

Is this a gray area?

If yes, I would tell the guy leaving that he needs to remove his junk right now or you're charging him for the entire month of February.If everything from the house is gone, this could be a real gray area.

This might be enough of a gray area to ease their fears of the DOS being called.I WILL make it clear, though, that this does not eliminate any and all risk regarding DOS.

It gives all the pitfalls and covers any gray area when using your IRA.

@John Gray Welcome to BP!

As I was setting up my account, the "view credit report" field became grayed out when I selected that the tenant would pay. 

I think not.In legal gray areas it's all about appearances and perceptions.
