I plan to give my tenant a notice to vacate under my health and safety clause.

In a way he was a safety net.

Some of the damages include:-Cigarette burns on both vanity countertops-Pet, ink, and bleach stained carpets-missing shower heads (she said the old ones had mildew in them so she threw them away then took hers that she bought when she moved out)-serious paint damage past wear and tear (plus they smoked so the walls have to be painted to get rid of the smell)-beat in drywall holes-broken light fixtures-they didnt clean at all so cleaning costs-some items left (tires in basement, hangers, food in pantry, etc)-broken screens-etc.The tenants are not happy and are saying I stole their deposit.

For someone whose grown up in a family where food was a means of "comfort" instead of something we do to "be fueled", it's understandable how difficult a shift in perception can be.Like any other lofty goal, it works if YOU do.

You can see there are really plenty of safety nets to make sure the borrower knows what happens in a transfer.

If its the income from a cash oriented business (for example, all food and drink at our local renaissance faire is cash only), then it may not be a big deal.

The show includes exhibits, seminars, food and a cash bar.There is a small fee for admission, but you can get in free if you register at their website: www.apartmentassoc.org/a

Will work for food or just an education...I'll let you decide, if you want. “ I will leave the Spurs part alone.

Nearing age 55, I am looking for a safety net.

That's some food for thought...
