[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would rent to a family who had been foreclosed on assuming they could explain the circumstances, had good references, and had a steady income. I would not rent to an attorney under any circumstance. [/quote]

Wow, seriously? Why? My DH and I are both JDs and while we have been homeowners for several years now, when we were renting we thought that being professionals was a plus when applying to rent a place -- educated, quiet, steady income, etc. And we never had trouble securing a rental even though we had pets back then. What are the negative assumptions people make about attorneys? I'm assuming it has something to do with worrying about being sued or nitpicked about repairs? Plenty of attorneys are nice, normal people, you know -- we don't have horns. [/quote]

I think not wanting to rent to an attorney is a mistake. I am an attorney and the good thing about us is we know we have to follow the lease terms. An attorney would never pay a stupid question like "can I let my security deposit be last months rent?" [/quote]
