If they are bonded, and leave you hanging, you will be compensated for your damages.

If a tenant wants rugs let them put in throw area carpets and take them with them when they leave.Wood floors and carpets are nightmares when a bad tenant gets in and often they have no money for damages so when they destroy the floors, you will be left holding the bill.Tile is the best choice, especially if you are looking at the long term and it has not been this cheap in many years!

Never lost any files due to theft or damage/failure but it made transferring all my files to my new laptop easy.

The fridge defroster leaked but there was no floor damage.

Or you could remove it completely.I don't know for sure if a new softener would be damaged by not refilling the salt, but I wouldn't take the chance.

Although everything is in good condition now, it is easy to imagine a scenario in which one part of the shared roof is damaged to the point of needing replacement.

When someone tries to dress up a deal with a complex description like this they're probably trying to do something you won't like.It looks to me like this isn't a loan at all.

For the same annual loss in profit, you could get it sit vacant a month or even two and get a good tenant.Waiting for the right tenant also means you're less likely to have costs like evictions, tons of damages, etc.Someone wanting to move by December 1 probably has been denied everywhere else or is being evicted.

You don't want to hold a room for someone then they back out at the last minute and you lose money for a month.Overall, it's not as profitable of a situation as one might think after the added utility costs (tenants will be careless with utilities in a bills paid situation).Plus, wear and tear on your house, expect some minor damage to occur and things to break, and be ready to deal with their noise, guests, etc.

It is a fairly new property and you could damage badly with a bad tenant costing you more then the waiting to sell will buy you.
