[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow.  We're lawyers, and have happily and successfully rented several homes over the last decade.  We've never had a problem, and never tried to sue.  I think most lawyers understand the real costs of litigation, and prefer to avoid it as much as possible in their own lives.  There are crazy people everywhere, though, whether you rent to lawyers, teachers, or non-profit employees.

Are you planning to treat your tenants unfairly, and so you'd rather have people whose rights are easier to trample?  In that case, it's probably a good idea to avoid lawyers and anyone else whose educated and professionally successful.  You'll have much better luck as a slumlord with a more disenfranchised group.

In my experience (31 yrs. practice), it's the clients or potential clients who are too often the sue-happy ones, and the lawyers spend time educating them on the points made above and why that's a pretty unsatisfactory way to resolve things in most cases. [/quote]
