This is happening on pretty much every street in San Diego to help fight affordability challenges. 

You charge the house a Flat Rent including Utilities in your name and they have leaks for months that don't get reported and you don't check the meter and they won't pay extra and you have to fight and argue and threaten and then file for Eviction.

_Special thanks to those that have helped in this fight.

Jim is taking the fight to Morris with his investigative reporting.  

My first partnership on 2 properties we didn’t have a formal agreement or formal exit strategy and when we caught the partner embezzling money they refused to buy us out or make good on the money and we had to sue them which cost $20,000 and a lengthy court fight.

It worked fine till the boys stopped paying because they had a fight and one moved out.

I know some areas require long term leases - perhaps people (owners and renters) ought to fight to have that changed in those areas - it's a horrible law that serves nobody well.This thread is about tenants with no credit.

Talk to them just to make sure you are not fighting a bigger known issue.

I felt the same way about their conflicting restrictions but ultimately, decided it was better for me to just push forward with 800 sq ft then try fight an uphill battle.

At the end of the day you will pay more to fight this than the cost of the line, which again seems like it already needs to be replaced.
