[QUOTE="MacFromOK, post: 3078257, member: 40864"] I have/had had friends that were landlords. If you're honest, ya won't believe what dishonest folks can come up with to avoid paying rent. One friend had a renter that said he couldn't make a payment, so the friend bought several gallons of paint when the renter agreed to paint the house for a month's rent. The renter sold the paint, and claimed to be physically incapacitated whenever my friend showed up. Took him several months to get the guy evicted because of his claims of bad health (this was in Texas). Another friend lost a bundle because of letting one family have utilities in their name. When they left, there were hundreds of dollars of unpaid utility bills. And guess what... the utility companies demanded payment before turning the utilities back on. Having said all that... some landlords are undoubtedly unscrupulous. But most of the better ones have probably been burned by being nice. Just my 2 cents. YMMV. :drunk2: [/QUOTE]
