[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I  think I would talk to their prior landlords.  I have a tenant who is the nit pickiets PITA ever, but she's not an attorney.  She's a former school teacher!

I ended our lease and she got a new place - and the new landlord did not even call me to do a reference check on her.  Is he in for a fun time!

Make sure you have a good contract.  And put in there (if it's legal where you are) that the tenant pays for misc. repairs such as light bulbs etc. under $75.00

I would hesitate to rent to an attorney, only because, if there is a genuine disagreement on a point, an attorney might not have the same reluctance to go to court over it that you do.  A lawyer...  won't have to pay to hire a lawyer!  You do have to pay legal fees if there's a serious dispute.[/quote]

Soooo not true. Lawyers k ow that being a party to litigation is a friggin nightmare to be avoided at all costs.

Good thing about lawyers is they know they should follow the lease. I have sooo many friends who feel entitle not to pay the last months rent because they think that is what the security deposit is for. Or they think they can just break the lease and actually expect to get security deposit back even if there is no tenant.[/quote]
