I never want renters, mine was a nice (guy?) but mentally challenged, always paid rent before due, not that it did more than keep up repairs, really it was a loss deal, but it helped him live on his own. I wanted it empty, but wasn't going to put him out, he moved to Florida, they took him as a meal ticket, 6 mo later he want to move back, I said no. That's when I found out about bedbugs...
My boy got a divorce, and moved into it, a year and a half later he moved in with a girl friend, hope the pipes didn't freeze, I can't deal with it anymore, he didn't get my mechanical genes or chosing a mate gene. Jim
