Quote from @Michael Paling: 50% is too high.First off, the majority of my tenants never cause problems, so they have nothing to lie about.

Sounds like the place is no longer fitting your needs if $500 per year is causing consternation.

I had a renter cause damage.

It is a noble cause and one that can certainly be balanced, but it takes effort, and at some point, there will be a point where these tenants of yours may start to expect something that costs you real money and isn't necessary to provide them quality housing.

Root cause is lack of confidence and/or fear of losing money.  

Make sure you have a fax machine, cause you'll need to send your documents that way.Rental registration is $70 each, plus convenience fee.

The tenant did agree via text message to be held liable for all potential damage caused by trampoline before they put up the trampoline.

Pareto principle - 80% of the problems caused by 20% of the people.

That situation caused the divorse and now she wants to stay. 

If not section 8, I would make the rent $1050 for a normal paying tenant.Now, the tenant is upset about the large increase cause I thought sec 8 was paying it.
