I told her that if she feels that her life is in danger to call the police- after a few seconds of silence, her tone somewhat changed as if I made an offensive remark and she said we will have to respectfully disagree with that solution.

These units have been vacant now for 2 months and I'm out of ideas on how to market the units to people who will move forward.All four units are 1 bed/1 bath units and I have the following criteria:Fees:$300 security deposit, $50 application fee per adult (18Y+).Criteria as follows:no evictions in the last three (3) years; felonies on a case by case; no sexual offenses; income 2.5 times the rent.Any thoughts or tips would be very helpful!

Some even have jail time for a second offense.

First of all, calling people retarded is highly offensive.

Ya'll not from down South, where "sell" can be pronounced as "sale" :)Southerners, please don't take offense and please take that with the humor that was intended ...

Even if you are believer in "training" tenants (a phrase and mode of thinking I personally find incredibly offensive when applied to adult citizens, rather than children or pets), recognize that this tenant is past the "training" stage, as she will soon be past the "tenant" phase!  

I won't take offense!

I think a lot of people don't realize that loan fraud is a federal offense.

No offense intended, but your question has been answered many times before, but I'll contribute again....Contracts are unique to your area and need to comply with local custom, so get ther reviewed by a quaified person, which is not a guru.Addendums may be written on the spot and added to a base contract, but you need some contract knowledge to write any part of a contract, especially when you modify the basic contract.

My analogy was to make the point that the two strategies are relatively orthogonal (like a Vegas bachelor party vs reading a book).Next time I'll use the analogy of choosing Chinese food vs burgers...is that less offensive?
