Waiting for news

January 9th, 2008 at 08:44 pm

I have a rental that has been vacant for several months. Problem is, its "too nice" and my rent is based on that. Its in a college town, and I'd rather have it empty than torn up by college kids. Usually it rents to an air force family, but with the war, and lot of the wives are going onto base housing, or some with young children are even moving back to be closer to their family.

I had a gal look at it before, but was locked into a lease until next month. She is clean, decent, has no police record (I check that because evectioned persons, drug users and sex offenders have applied in the past). She is widowed, has a child and her widowed mom lives with her. She just wants a bigger place and this house is near a park and the library, and she does some home child care, so she can walk her kids to their daily activities. Well, she called today, and she is still interested and wanted to know if the house was still available. So, we will see how she likes it when she sees it on the inside. Her main income source is SS she gets and that her son get from her deceased husband, plus his benifits. Then, her mom splits everything with her 50/50. She is in her early 40's and the mom is retired, and they seem very responsible. So, hopefully it will be rented, and I can get that off my back!!

    She sounds like a lovely person and I hope it works out, but since I tend toward caution I must ask: If she is doing day care out of your home and something happened to one of the kids she was watching, what would that mean for you? Could you be sued? Would your insurance cover that?

    She actually sounds like she would be a great renter for you. I hope that works out--then you would have the rental income and, hopefully, the piece-of-mind of having a responsible renter.
