Show me a young couple with a child going into the first grade moving into a property in a good school district and I will show you a reliable tenant that is not moving for the next 6 years.

I've seen people let dogs loose on their neighbors, child predators that are already sex offenders running around the complex in their ankle bracelets, I'm a pro at kicking out armed drug dealers; hell, many years ago I LIVED in a building where the resident manager, who rented the second floor to the Devil's Disciples, thought it would be a great idea to let his pack of barely trained German Shepards roam the halls for 'security.'

If they have prior felony or misdemenor convictions in a list of areas (sex offenses, drug-related charges, dishonesty / fraud, violence, child or elder abuse) they are not qualified.  

Maybe is theraputical and their ailing child relies on it as a mental salve?

You have an obligation to ALL landlords to train your tenant well and like a spoiled child you need to correct bad behavior.

You certainly don't want a child playing and have little hands accessible to wiring.

We personally have one, it was for our first child, who has long grown up.

Plus I had a new born at the time.

She offered her mother as a co-signer and who was also their current landlord (mother and child).  

Now that I have a child I am subbing most of the work out.
