Thanks Teo,
Looks like we will be staying here.I did some looking for other places and it looks like I will be paying about the same unless I really want to step down in quality,which I do not.This is the nicest place I have ever lived,better than the California house I owned that is now worth $800,000.And its furnished.If I moved I would allmost certainly have to buy furniture.So staying here will preserve my liquid cash better.I will be paying for 2 surguries before I get reimbursed for the first one.
AND,I actually enjoy having people stay here.If I don't they are gone.Its for fun as well as profit.It allows me to live in a much better place for the price of a much lessor apartment.
Beatriz says she doesn't mind people staying here,she gets along well with everyone.
My landlord wanted to raise my rent 25% but the law and the existing lease limit raises to a cost of living type index that is about 6% this year.So they are out of luck on that one.They can sell the place,if they do I can be required to leave within 2 months.They mentioned that as a possibility.I will cooperate in showing it if they want to sell,so there is no reason for it to be vacant while they are trying.Looks like we will be in to another years lease by February one.
I should do a web site to advertise the place better for rentals.My occupancy averages less than 50%.
