I hear ya. After too much of that exact crap, I took over all utilities except for phone and cable and rented "utilities included" to avoid the extra hassle. Later, after an extensive repair/remodel we looked at how nice the apartment was again and said "eff it..no more renting" We use that one as a guest apartment for family and friends and now have only one renter left..and he takes great care of that place. No more new rentals for me.

Good!
Yea, I believe the friend of mind who did the same had to do ALL of the investigative work. Meaning she had to track down their new address so they could be served with the papers. She even had a rental agency, one would think they would do all of the leg work in situations like these. What the hell is the point if they dont help out in times of need, do they just sit back and collect checks?
and this is why I won't take them to court. These people wouldn't have a pot to piss in if it weren't for lack of due diligence and kind hearts. I told her that she's lucky she doesn't live in a box under a bridge. She told me that as long as there are people like me, she'll never live in a box under a bridge. She's right. As long as there are people that she can take advantage of, she will.

Has anyone tried the housing unit on base for renters? We had considered fully furnishing our in law apartment to rent when the power plant is shut down and a retired military man suggested we contact the housing office on base as there are higher ranking military that come here for weeks or months at a time and are looking for lodging nicer than hotels.

Didn't any of you landlords get landlords insurance? Seems it would be prudent to have coverage for tenant caused damages,
