I thought about all the post on BP and wisdom handed out by people who have done this longer than I have and I had firmly decided despite my desire to not be a "jerk landlord" I had to protect my property and confront this tenant.

Looking forward to May!

We look forward to checking out the different neighborhoods and of course the bars and restaurants!
