Please don't evict me!!!

So, the tenants in house #3 get the letter from the attorney indicating their 6 lease violations and how to remedy them or else get evicted. Ms. Tenant calls the attorney crying and pleading for more time. Hmmmm....let's see. She's already 20 days past due on the deposit, owes a returned check fee, and owes additional monies. She has until the end of the month to pay up, which I think is pretty damn generous. This is all really irritating. You see, Mr. Landlord and I provide really nice places to live, AND we ensure that any and all repairs are completed by the best workman we have. This not only protects the tenant, but it protects our investment. And this is key...it is an investment for us. Not a half-way house, not a stop-and-squat house, not a onceIgetinIllneverhavetopayanotherdime house. We hold up our end of the lease and we expect our tenants to do the same. Not my problem that you can't manage your life well enough to ensure you and your family have a roof over your head. You should have never signed the lease if you couldn't afford it!

House #1 is up for lease. This is absolutely our nicest house. In fact, we lived there before we moved into our current house. It is in a really nice neighborhood, has all new flooring throughout, new appliances, a washer and dryer, access to the community pool/tennis courts/playground, and new paint on the exterior and interior. The previous tenants did a fantastic job of keeping up the house. So much so, they received their ENTIRE deposit back. Mr. Landlord showed the house this past weekend to a family who seemed very interested. They took the application and said they would fax it in today. Well, I received a voice mail from the husband saying he and his wife had a few questions, and could we please email them. He also said that his wife wanted to know if we were going to repaint the inside of the house, and that if we didn't use email (hello? this statement baffles me....) that he would call back and we could "have a good conversation about the house." Oh fuck me...kiss my ass. The interior has paint that is 10 months old and looks, literally, brand new. It is in very nice, warm colors and we spent a few thousand for the paint job. Fuck off, asshole...it's a rent house...if your wife can't live with the paint then she probably can't live there period...You will likely piss me off some time during your lease and then I'll be the relentless landlord who becomes your biggest, most painful hemorrhoid.
