Hi Sam,I do vacation rentals with mobile homes in communities.Make sure first - call the sales office at Silver View Farm and ask if they allow short term vacation rentals - "weekly"I saw on the ad, they require a background check for purchase - most do; as well as income verification to make sure you can afford the monthly lot rent to the community.

I had long suspected that they smoked pot in their unit (can't hide that smell) but didn't have any concrete proof.  

A LLC is really only smoke and mirrors which can be pierced.

They lose their security if they do; no smoking either, same forfeit clause in our leases.We always use the same antique white Levelor vertical blinds in all units, the same antique white electric sockets, switches, and the over-sized socket and switch plates.Together with the beige ceramic tile, the places look great, clean, the dark grout sets off the tile, and they wind up looking larger than they are, and hide dirt.We are renovating a place now, a newly acquired three-bed two bath SFR, 1500 sq foot and we picked up 1650 sq. feet of 16 by 16 inch ceramic at Home Depot for .68 a sq foot.

Don that is a very tragic event I am sure he has not dealt with fully if he has turned to drugs.You can't just stop doing something.You have to replace it with something else to fill the space.WHITE KNUCKLING and WILL POWER will eventually only lead to failure.My mom worked for years and years at a violence center for women and dealt with people that had issues.You can guide them and try to show the way but at the end of the day it is their choice to want to live or die.Just take in every moment your son is present and in the moment with you and try to cherish those memories.Right now your main goal is to protect the innocent children and take away any bad modeling behavior they are witnessing that can impact them for life.When you kick a habit you have to do something else.Example: Smoking - Bike Riding,Drinking- going to church,drugs-exercise etc.Everyone has stress in their lives and that will never change.As we get older the stress does not go away it just transforms into something else.You might used to have worried about money,then it's your kids,then it's old age,mortality etc.Until your son sees a counselor to deal with these issues and learn coping skills he is going to medicate himself to not feel anything.The first few sessions of therapy is just small talk.The real work begins later on and either people commit and dig in to work on issues or say "Oh I am fine now and get scared and run away".Many people go to their pastor but I feel they are not qualified as a drug abuse specialist or a licensed therapist to help them with situations like that.Don you don't control your son but YOU DO control how you react to what he does and how it impacts your life and family.Maybe you feel guilty for him seeing his mom go through that and enabled him out of guilt to make yourself feel better in the moment.All you can do everyday is work on yourself.If you do that you can have a positive impact on him that can do nothing but help.

To dissuade a few, I have update my smoke detector clause as follows:Landlord may install meth detectors.Obviously won't happen, but costs nothing to insert.

There are discounts for non-smoking clauses, requiring tenants to carry renter's insurance, etc.You should definitely share your lease with them and at the very least you might learn how to make your contract stronger.

Specify utility costs, what's allowed (pets, no smoking, etc.), cleaning (they'll never clean as often as they say they will-- consider splitting required cost of regular maid service), lawn upkeep, parking, overnight guests, parties and guest policy, locking doors, and roommate issues as well.Tell them upfront what's acceptable and what's not.

All the tenants are decent, but they all smoke.  

Any routine maintenance and inspection is best done by the landlord, whether it is furnace filters, smoke detector batteries, checking for leaks under the sinks or anything else.
