He was flooded with applicants as they are far superior for the price. 

chemical applications are really cheap maintenance if applied correctly.Renters wont take care of your place like you do.

Visitors leave short messages that are kept on digital media or some older systems like analog recording tape.

Hi there, I rent rooms out in my house which I also live in.I recently had a new tenant move in as of April 28th.When tenants move in I usually have them sign a month-to-month lease right away or if not [conflicting schedules or me forgetting] then I post date the lease to day of move in or start of month and we sign.As my newest tenant keeps to himself a lot or is often out and I have been pretty busy I posted the lease and lead disclosure to his door with a note asking him to please review and sign it and talk to me if he had any questions or concerns.My problem is that it is now the 13th of May and the lease is still taped to his door and I have reminded him casually twice and in a more serious tone once that "I really need him to get the lease back to me."

In that case I'm actually not opposed to following thru with the deed application and acquiring the property.
