That is crazy isn't it? She didn't know what she wanted and didn't have a reason to move. You know tenants, they lack stability, move every year. Maybe this economy has something to do with it. I was thinking with most people who have anxieties during stressful times, it's either fight or flight, most take flight. With so much uncertanties with what the economy is doing to people, I think it's causing them anxieties, so they run.

This tenant had second thoughts as soon as she signed a lease for another place, when she moved into it yesturday, the basement was flooded and that was all it took. Her 21 year old son woke up this morning early and said to her "I want to go home". lol
She is a good tenant, didn't want her to move in the first place. Good tenants are hard to come by. So we got her to sign a lease renewal for 17 months with a $25.00 rent increase begining April 1st. She had the rent, this was the easiest "filling a vacancy" I ever had in 24 years.
