Constructed in about 1970, building in OK condition. 

They've since paid voiding the eviction but I expect we'll need to do it again next month. sigh...One piece of advice is to make sure the rent is appropriate for the condition of the unit. ie, if it would rent for $1200 fully renovated, what's it worth in its present condition.

There's a huge % of our country which votes to give up more of their privacy and freedom every time they're given a ballot whether or not it's in their best interest because doing so typically has some "feel good" gift wrap so we find ourselves in a tough situation as social media/tech/business/finance/foreign interests collide under these conditions. 

Determine a base rent on current market conditions, supply, etc. and add on based on my unit and amenities.
