What does it take to get a good house renter?
We have been "ripped a new one" twice now since we moved about a year ago. We still owe on the rental property, it is a mobile home on 5 acres.
We called the previous "landlords" and got a good reference. Came to find out the landlords, weren't real.
Anyhow, the real rant now: the current tenants are refusing to pay and are doing serious damage to the inside of the trailer. They have taken the screens out and left the windows wide open while they were elsewhere. Over 4 inches of rain came in, the carpet is ruined and the particle board is now collapsing through.
I contacted the prepaid legal service I belong to, they emailed the 5 day notice form and the proof of service form we need to get them out.
The 5 days was yesterday. Rent is over a month past due.
Going to get expensive to get them out. $82 at the circuit clerk, $36 for the sheriff to serve them plus mileage until they do find them home, plus court costs.
They also have a vicious dog. We agreed to pets, but not a 4 foot tall intact male boxer that has a major attitude.
I felt "sorry" for them when they moved in and waived damage deposit / last month rent. All we have collected is 1 months rent since they moved in April 16th.
Maybe just a lesson for anyone else before you "help" someone. DOUG

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
