[quote=Anonymous][quote]I rent a two-unit rowhouse -- three tenants, all lawyers.

They did nit pick their leases (although, oddly, they "found" things that weren't inaccurate and completely overlooked things like the wrong name on the signature block -- eagle eyes!). They understand the meaning of a lease, so I don't worry about them breaking it. One of them called to discuss her extension exactly 60 days prior to the end of her lease.

They don't take care of the yard, but tenants seldom do. They do keep the place neat and presentable, but I doubt it's being deep-cleaned. They ask before doing anything that might put their security deposit at risk.

And, they pay their rent on time without complaint. So I couldn't be happier. [/quote]

This sounds about right.  Lawyer here, married to a lawyer.

We like to read the fine print, and are nervous about what we sign.  But we're hardworking, so we're too busy to bother with stuff once we're in.  We don't complain much, we pay our rent on time, we don't party or trash the place, and as a PP said, we understand the concept of the lease and the obligation it entails.  I'd like to think most of us are pretty stable and trouble-free.

Of course, we're also people, which means we come in all flavors.

DC's full of lawyers--swing your backpack and you'll hit one.  Hard to see how a LL can avoid renting to one at some point or another.  Don't know why you'd want to avoid the lot.  [/quote]
