I usually get shoe molding from home depot website because it's only about $2 for an 8' stick. 

You basically just step into the shoes of the previous landlord and the contract continues.  

@Karen MargraveWith an extra seven (that's 50%) people, the wear and tear will greatly increase; there will be 50% more load on water and sewer systems; more laundry, etc.Your in a "lengthy eviction state", so, in your shoes, I would start the process immediately and issues he necessary notifications for non-compliance with the lease; if find a workable resolution, you can always halt the process.You could give them a deadline to have the numbers reduced (i.e.

If you do decide to continue being a landlord, it sounds as though you could use some advice about how to screen tenants, but your plan to sell the property is probably a better idea; it's hard enough to manage property that's close to home, never mind one that's so far away.Best of luck with it and good for you, coming to BP for advice...most of us have been in your shoes and we're all rooting for you!

It wasn't too long ago that I was in your shoes, so I can tell you my story through the DM if that'd be helpful.
