[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've been renting out our Georgetown rowhouse for 10 years now. No problems. Pp is correct--DC has some of the strictest tenant laws. They could really screw you over if you don't cover your bases. Don't ignore your instincts. Don't get lazy with background/financial and court records. Screen heavily beforehand. We rent through Craigslist. DH is extremely handy, but we have a great contractor if there is something he can't handle. We don't do group rentals, college kids, etc. We've only had two longterm tenants in all that time. One a married professional couple-- the other a 40- year old divorced professional. [/quote] To pp-- not a nightmare at all. We literally never hear from our tenants. E-check on time every month. They've nearly paid off our mortgage.[/quote]
