[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3617544, member: 15054"] Stick their names in a dead beat renters data base. You can also report the tenants to 3 different credit bureaus. Forget court and if they have any government assistance you can't get a dime from them. If you do go to court and get a judgement against a person that is not a win as you will need to go to court again to get a judge to issue a garnishment on their wages.. does not happen in one fell swoop. Buddy did that and found out. If you are keeping the house and living in it yourself then by all means change things up with your fancy plugins and drawers. But know this in a rental house if that stuff dies you will be in there fixing it. I do not like a simple ceiling fan in a rent house. Just plain Jane lights NO FAN. I do not want to go in replacing fan switches or fans. Keep a rental simple and reliable. NO Attic access in a rental either. Nothing wrong with keeping the popcorn on the ceilings. Unless you hate it and are moving in. Do as others stated wet it and scrape it off not a big deal. Come by here and I will give you a couple disposable PPE suits if you need them. DO NOT paint the trim boards above the carpet white. If you have stained boards keep it that way they show scars but do not get near as ugly as a painted board after vacuuming and or dinking with toys and furniture. Tile as much as possible. I do have carpet in a couple rentals and I got good at cleaning it ..not all renters destroy carpet. I have had my front room and stairway carpet in this house I am in since I bought it in 1999 and it was here before then and is still in decent shape. I am not a renter though. I had a preacher/ school teacher ruin my carpet with a dog he was not supposed to have. His kid broke a window and he fixed it with duct tape and thought that was really a fix. Yea he said he was going to take me to court to get his deposit back and he had pictures. I told him I have a lot of pictures and will be glad to go to court. That was the end of that. He rented from me for 8 years. I thought he was pretty decent and clean. Nope. [/QUOTE]
