I have 4 units I rent out.

One is a house with 3 bed 2 bath up and 2 bed 1 bath down. We had new tenants (2 adults 2 children) with good references and jobs move in the upper unit 4 months ago. Since then there have been plenty of issues and excuses. Late rent, added cat without asking, noise complaints from neighbours and downstairs tenants, moving truck backed into the gutter doing damage and didn't say anything.

I did an inspection recently because of the constant issues and zero communication. I discovered one bedroom was being subletted to an international student without permission. I evicted them and they got rid of the student. They admitted they couldn't afford the rental without the extra income.

People are extremely good at telling a landlord what they want to hear. Weeding out the fakers is the hard part. Every landlord wants what meme listed. I have excellent tenants in my other units and hope to fine some new solid tenants for my upper unit.
