That might get you better responses than here.

Let them set it up as its their responsibility to pay you. 

Curious on what kind of response these two options get from others and what others would consider more attractive in their own situations and why.

As long as they are both on the lease they are both responsible for rent. 

Thank you for the responses.

Oh—and he somehow “forgot” to pay $40,000 in taxes and we had to enter into a repayment plan with the IRS that became a joint responsibility following the divorce.Many of my problems were of my own making.

James, thank you for your informative response.

The existing tenants have mentioned separately (this is an up/down duplex) of smell of mold.This is not difficult to believe if in fact there are these obvious cracks on the home exterior.There is no doubt water/moisture is getting into the home and creating a condition for mold to grow.We had a structural engineer out to do our buyer’s inspection yesterday, report is due out later this evening (11/04/17).Verbal communication while on site, indicated a mutually shared concern over these cracks.The roof appears fine.A wall in the backyard will need replacing as the soil weight has almost pushed this wall over and it is only a matter of time before this thing comes falling over.Boiler may need replaced, windows as there is some clear cold.These are just concerns at this time but inspection report will lay all this out once received later today.I should have been a little smarter in not agreeing to a change in inspection objection deadline when it was presented by seller.My buyer’s agent and I should really have talked this one over, as I realize now that, it left us with only hours after inspection to come up with our inspection objection response and to be honest I will not have time to get bids for any of the extensive repair items which I do not doubt will be confirmed in the report received later today.Seeking any advice that you can give on the following: Would you proceed with purchase of the above detailed home?

However, I am sure you agree manufacturing quality is just a small element of what goes into the decision process of developing a MHP.It seems from your responses you believe developing a MHP can be a profitable under some circumstances. 

I think you might get some better responses there.
