[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a tenant who knew the DC system well and who stopped paying the rent for over a year and made complaints to DC about repairs that were needed so they didn't have to pay. THEN, the tenant would refuse entry for any repair person so the repairs were not made. Then they caused a flood and had to be put up at a hotel on our dime. While in the hotel, the repairs were made,they came back and they never paid any back rent.

They moved out in the middle of the night to Florida, owing over a years back rent. They bought a house in Florida.

DC is a hellish place to be a landlord.

Are you me? Had a similar experience. [/quote]

This is why I basically discriminate when I rent my units. Not along racial lines (I'm black so this is a pre-emptive shut up to any white person that wants to come here and call me racist), but I don't rent to anyone who seems to be of or come from poverty. My rentals are mostly to kids out of college from good schools who have mommy and daddy, and to young yuppy couples who are lawyers etc. I won't rent to anyone that seems sketchy or poor, full stop.
