Great advice on hard-surface flooring. We're considering that too. Make them bring their own rugs in.

There was a 1 month rent security deposit, which they will obviously lose 100%, but they probably consider it a wash if they can spend a month without leaving the rent.

The big mistake on the PM's part was to play nice guy when the economy tanked. I'd rather have an empty house than one occupied by slobs who would take advantage of the owners.

@ Spdrun, I never thought about the meth possibility. thanks for bringing that up.

The only saving grace is we have a friend down there who is trusted and talented with property maintenance.
