Thanks Everyone! I REALLY appreciate your feedback.
In response–I do not want to live there. The area is noisy and chaotic.
The tenant is great, pays rent on time, clean, responsible, etc. However, she is a little stuck because she has 2 dogs, and hard to find a place to move. Before her, we had a variety of big families in that TEENY space, and thus the house was somewhat beat upon.
Yes, the tenant in common pays nothing. We have to come up with the money together to pay for repairs. I don’t charge her for my services. (Which on a side note….she always gets angry with me, and I am tired of her aggravation as well)
