ParticipantOfficially, I’ll put a clause limiting guests to n days in the lease. Unofficially, I really don’t want to know, so long as nothing else bad is going on. I’d rather have a happy tenant than a love-starved, irritable tenant who moved out of his/her home only to encounter a new helichopper parent.

ParticipantParty is generally on deck ๐ If the boat or RV is docked or parked, then you can always take a few steps and walk around outside. The boat or RV is just a place to sleep, cook, and pee.

ParticipantAs long as he’s not acting like a complete arsehole, it’s frankly none of their damn business. They can be nervous on their own time and keep it to themselves.
(Along with other sexist/racist beliefs.) Anyway, he’s not self-invited; he was invited by a tenant, whose judgement you presumably trust enough to want to rent to her/him in the first place.
In short: as long as my tenant is paying, and no one in the apartment is doing anything illegal or destructive, I really don’t want to know who’s boinking whom.

ParticipantAs long as BF isn’t there all the time and has his own place, he’d be hard-pressed to prove that he’s become a de-facto tenant.
As far as illegal activities like cooking meth, wouldn’t those be grounds for quick eviction (if not police action) in themselves?

ParticipantDon’t knock it till you’ve tried it.
The orangutan I mean….You’re got a point there.

ParticipantSpeak to an official at the city code enforcement office who has an actual engineering degree or an electrical license, not a degree in marketing, government administration, or early French midget chauvinist literature cut out of a Wheaties box.
Interesting question though — are there any solar systems that can generate x watts output, but limit power sent back to the grid to some fraction of x if the power is not being used locally?

ParticipantHOA’s make sense where they make sense — in condos which share common structure and mechanicals. Otherwise, yeah, I’d sooner make sweet love to a methed-out Orangutan than live in a detached house in a HOA-infested area…

ParticipantI’d go for an old Microbus or maybe a Eurovan conversion. That thing that Dodge is selling (front-engine, FWD, about as long as a normal car — Promaster, I think) would also be a decent candidate for conversion.

ParticipantDifference is that rents outside of SF seem to stay high, whereas rents outside of central London drop off more quickly. Plus the standard space in London is smaller than in San Francisco.

ParticipantWhat else pays 6+% returns SAFELY AND CONSISTENTLY these days?

Participant^^^
Having said this, that’s why it’s best to keep address of record at the condo and just pay bills, etc, online. What the HOA board doesn’t know, they’re not obligated to report to banks of buyers seeking financing (thus keeping values up).

ParticipantYes, and this is why I put a clause in my lease saying “tenant is responsible for HOA fines incurred due to violations of CC&R’s (see attached pamphlet).” If the fine is for something reasonable, I’d pay and pass it on to the tenant.
If it’s for something UNreasonable, hell yes I’d fight it. The defendant’s costs will be split among ALL the tenants, not just me, so I’d be screwing all of my co-owners over. A good incentive for them not to elect HOA board members that levy unreasonable fines, don’cha think?

ParticipantHopefully the members of the jury will do their duty. (And the defense lawyers will be drug tested.)
