[quote=plm]I appreciate all the warnings but I’m thinking maybe not being paid rent on time if they have bad credit.
It’s a family moving in from out of town for new jobs so hopefully there was a background check done. Being a family, I think its less likely they will be some scam artist renter.
Anyhow, I’ll learn to screen tenants better next time but I’ve got to give them a second chance. They are going to be here soon with their furniture with no place to go otherwise. Their kids need a nice place to stay.
As for selling the house, income taxes makes it hard to sell since we lost the tax free window.[/quote]
And all these things are irrelevant to running a rental business … you aren’t running a charity. You didn’t do anything wrong ..they fked up…why should you compromise…not your problem. You should have at least insisted on a credit report after their check bounced.
