Jacob Beg Will you rent to this tenant?

Class C renter -- maybe depending on strength or lack of strength of other applicants at the time (due to public money vs earned income).if so 1st, last, and security + days of month left in this month (not a years money in a pile and then she has to start paying--bad training--that end of year payment might not be there).If she messes it up, 5 day notice, late fees,etc...up to filing eviction (and a turn) if needed.My guess is irresponsible focus on monthly bills, but if the $$$ is there 12 late fees add up to some extra cash flow from that unit.But definitely not the top of line renter--but sometimes you have to settle vs. losing 4 months of rent to a vacant unit waiting.But it depends on how you want to run your business--there are only 12 months (52 weeks a year to extract cash from that unit).And it depends on [IF] you can afford to take a risk with that units cash flow--or if you MUST have a stronger renter.But if stronger candidates are available, why take the risk.The year in advance is probably a convenience for her to not have to focus on bills vs. a gift for you...meaning she probably knows it's her weak spot--and that will probably bite you if you rent to her.Just my 2 cents.

An "Emotional Support Animal" provides therapeutic benefit and does not require specific training.You can ask the tenant "to present documentation from a physician, psychiatrist, social worker or other mental health professional that the animal provides support which mitigates at least one symptom of a disability".But you can't charge, can't require training, and can't ask about their disability.You CAN charge them for damage after the fact... but that's about it.Recently a Florida condo association paid $18k to settle a denial of a emotional support animal.So proceed with caution anytime someone says "Oh no, this isn't a pet.
