you are pretty brave to rent to druggies.
“you are pretty brave to rent to druggies.”
I do a pretty good background check. I try to weed out the obvious bad renters. There was a thirty-something single mother employed in a local prison. She was doing fine and then I got her onto the free Covid rent support. She got probably $13,000 in government money for rent and electric.
She went from being paycheck to paycheck to so addicted to probably meth I could barely understand her. Similarly, I got a 74-year-old woman on the same program. Same thing. She spent the sudden surplus on drugs. She fled on her own, apparently one step ahead of something chasing her.
There was a young man who was an awesome roofer. He was white, good looking, hugely muscled, married with one small child. I paid him something like $1800 in cash for helping me put on a roof. He did a great job. Went home that night after apparently buying drugs which he normally didn’t have the money for. His wife fled with the child. He nailed himself into the house because “somebody is watching me.” He then fled and ended up living in a motel in Tallahassee. He was working for his dad’s company and his dad fired him.
Most of these events were a total shock to me.
