100% nightmare tenant that will likely get surprise roommates and a zoo of unauthorized pets while they live there and then claim "oh I didn't know that was against the rules".

I work in group home settings for a living and at my previous facility there were two clients per bedroom which would give you potentially 8 in your house while at my current job there is one client per bedroom which would only be 4 clients in your home.

I live in MA and I know it is a nightmare to deal with tenant here.

Good to know as I have a property coming on the market and we had one off market offer already all cash but at 10% list price discount (which we most likely will reject).Curious if you think the california fires will assist the market since many of those people need places to live for years and I am guessing some will flee california?

My manger does this all the time.He has an inspection done to verify all the maintenance issue and has someone video the property to verify all the marketing issues.
