I hate my rental house

[Irving]

I suppose. I mainly would keep tabs on it for documentation.

I am sure there is ways for tenants to screw over landlords. If you know the soonest when there is a problem, you can start documenting the problems and perhaps fair better in court. (thus loosing less money) I am assuming being a landlord is going to get you in court more. Would be nice to appear before a judge with documentation in hand.

I would not be attached to broken stuff. When that broken stuff starts making me loose money that is a problem. When they start destroying more than the deposit pays for isn't it time to let them move on?

Most of what you said here is true. The problem is that if someone is trashing your place, even if you "win" in court, they don't have any money for you to recover anyway. It's very important to build up a safety net with a rental, because you WILL need it.

Yeah, no blood from a turnip.
