Discrimination based on any physical or mental disability is also illegal.

Their mentality is, we got screwed so now we will screw you.

Not paying rent due to personal life situations is one thing but a tenant withholding rent is completely unacceptable.That mentality in a tenant is something landlords should never tolerate.Evictions filed without judgements means they are problem tenants.

It mostly comes down to the area you invest in but sometimes applicants with mental illnesses do get through the process, I know that first hand.

I agree with many who say that the problem may be fairly easy to resolve, but you should check with an expert that does these kind of repairs to confirm if you are not experienced in the matter.But ... just for the mental exercise, let's assume for a second that the foundation issue could NOT be fixed, like you stated in the original post.

While figuring out how to get rid of her, if that's what your calm lawyer mental mentor would advise, use the lease.  

They could get more car for their payments so they didn't care, their mentality of "I'm always going to have a car payment" meant they didn't care, my old payment is $325 a month, I can get this really nice new car for $360 on a lease, I'll take it. 

A cat or a chihuaha is OK.....A Rotweiller or Pit Bull or Snake is NOT OK.Always ask how many people will potentially live at the unit....You don't want the mother, and grandma, and 4 kids living in the 3 bedroom 1 bath unit.....whatever number they say...always mentally add one more person to that.Regarding Deposits and Application Fees.........If (before they even fill out the application for the background check) they say I don't want to pay $45.00 for a deposit fee if I'm not going to get approved .....that's a red flag.     

Its such a zoo, I ended up looking toward the suburbs of Tacoma, Federal Way, Kent, etc.This definitely helps my mental roadblock that Seattle is near impossible to invest in.

Have you thought about calling local religious faculties and asking them if you post on their boards
