We own a home, and its being rented out right now. We rented it by owner, so as to save costs relating to using a realtor to find a rentor for us, because those costs are somewhat high. unfortunately, the people in the home we are renting it in, have not have funds for two of the months of which they have paid to live in, we've had to ask them twice for those funds, and this month, they have not had funds for their pet deposit, insufficient funds for that, though their rent went through ok (for this month).

what is acceptable and what isn't? should we be thankful we have a renter at all, and have to tolerate that kind of behavior?

we had to wait a little time to find a person to move in. so i guess we are just thankful to have them, but they are lousy with money, so i'm not happy about that. i'm hoping that is no reflection of how they are treating the home.

thank you
