A property owner who is a landlord should be able to maintain the premises and manage the tenants provided the property owner (landlord) has a legal written lease agreement and the knowledge to enforce the terms and conditions therein, regardless of the disposition of the tenant. If not hire an attorney to manage the lease agreement signing and any potential lease violations.

Why would renting to a lawyer worry a landlord? Are you doing some shady business? Do you routinely screw people out of rent and security deposits? If you're doing everything legally, why would anyone be worried? Same reason I don't care if the government listens to my phone conversations or knows where I go on the internet. What am I hiding? Nothing.

I love how landlords need to feel the power of having the upperhand about landlord and tenant laws and not wanting the tenants to be informed of their rights. Isn't that what the issue is here? You don't want to rent to a lawyer because they'll likely know what their legal rights are and actually understand landlord-tenant laws, more than likely better than you do? So the balance of power in legal knowledge has shifted to the tenant in this case and you're all freaked out. I tend to agree with the poster who asked what do you have to hide? Don't give the lawyer tenant any reason to use the law against you and he won't.

I think you are asking if it is a good idea to rent TO an attorney, not to rent (retain) an attorney ( be sure to use a preposition when it changes the meaning of a sentence).
No, it is not a good idea. It is not that I have anything to hide, but the lawyer/attorney applicants did! He refused to give his social security number, his income, his girlfriends SSN or income, and he wanted to rewrite my LPA lease. Since he turned in an incomplete application he was denied.

my lawyer tenant has been okay. requested one minor addition to one clause (clarifying that wear and tear was excepted) of the lease. pays every month. there was a minor flare up about my waiving a late fee (very odd), but that seemed to be some crossed wires, not her legal training...
