I don't know exactly what your financial situation is, but I know medical bills can be horrible.

This is just an experience that you will learn from and although it may seem like a horrible experience, it will soon pass.  

No lawyer fees, no evictions which are horribly painful in Illinois.

Long story short, we did get a prospective tenant that wanted to rent one of the units, but had a horrible credit score, plus a prior eviction, AND a couple shoplifting strikes against her!

Not the one just before you, because they might say anything you want to hear to get them out if they are horrible tenants, but the ones before that.

So, it could give you the opportunity to get onto yelp.The downside, of course, is that angry tenants can give you horrible reviews.I put our building on yelp (worked for very old-school old guy owners - brothers) and asked tenants to review it if/when they ever wanted to.  

Based on how horribly the tenant has handled the situation, I can't imagine she would truly change her ways.

If the parent can't control the kid, to the point the kid could disturb other tenants, you can deny her based on that.Also a credit score that "should be above 600" is horrible.  

And Section 8 renters are not all horrible people.  

One scratch or dent and they look horrible, which leads me to ask @Bret Nida why would you put a scratched or dented stainless appliance in a property?
