However, one applicant has a black lab, which I have also owned and had good luck with, and she seems like a very responsible pet owner and person.

Once the tenant starts painting, it doesn't stop.We bought a triplex, the seller was aghast when she found the tenant had painted the kitchen black and yellow.

I've got black and white substantiated evidence to indicate that they've not met the requirements of the law or their lease.

A funny thing about the audiobook, the narrator is AfAm and the author is white, and the narrator does a superb job when getting the poor black voices.Anyway, even though the author sides with eight families in distress, he is fair to the two landlords.

And rent out the current house, so your rental income is in the black?  

I also painted the front door black and replaced the outside lights.

One was barking at one, the other two were minding their own business and the GSD came at us and attacked and we weren't on their property, etc.We also had a sweet female black lab that out of the blue attacked my ex's friend and bit his hand.So, you just never know.

Then, make a decision that will most likely keep your tenants, and keep your bottom line in the black.  

@Alex M.I am in a similar state - with 4 residential tenants I'm working on keeping when the black & white answer is to just evict, and I'm not ready to evict yet.  

On top of this they refuse to fix our dishwasher or our fridge and we have black mold growing in our bathroom, and an apartment that overall is just in really bad shape and falling apart around us.
