[quote=Anonymous]You want to think twice about being a landlord in DC. The laws are draconian and slanted against landlords. If you get a bad tenant, or dishonest and you need to evict, it is nearly impossible to do so. Imagine someone living in your house and your are fighting in court to get rid of them. Not a good idea. Even renting a room is extremely risky. If you do decide to rent, you should have about 12 to 24 months of expenses (utilities, mortgage payments etc) in cash, in the bank if the tenant decides he no longer wants to, or no is able to pay. And the laws of DC will protect tenants who simply decide they have no interest in paying you and just want to live for free. You may have to sue them a dozen times before they finally leave. Hire a good attorney prior to getting yourself into a hot mess. [/quote]
