When you have one tenant not paying their $50 portion it is whatever, but when you have say 6 or 7 and your loosing out on $1000 a month you start noticing it a lot more! 

If anyone would like to move out and give me 15 day notice I should be able to place one in with minimum gap.

I will be sure to be upfront on the lease about the guidelines and specifics like that including cleanliness expectations, late rules, eviction notices, communication, maintenance, etc.

I noticed most of the posts are 3 years old.  

@Marc Shin You need to provide the location of the property.Mechanics liens laws are state-specific with respect to contract and notice requirements, license status, dollar amount thresholds, and especially TIMING.

If you haven't noticed, we are moving to a digital world.

I always get a notice to pay for the "Proactive Rental Enforcement Program" https://www.santa-ana.org/prep-program/. 

More long term rentals are also very attractive to students, I noticed that less people seem to be staying in apartments and are instead looking to move into houses around campus.   

I noticed your double standard in your reply as you don't mention the thing that is "eerily similar to what we've heard...". 

Should I wait until I can put 20% down on a property to decrease the monthly mortgage payment?
