Chinese Company 3D-Printed 10 Houses In A Day
By Karyne Levy, Business Insider

There's a lot you can do with a 3D printer. Now add "building a house in a day" to the list.

Make that 10 houses.

The WinSun Decoration Design Engineering Co. has printed 10 homes in 24 hours out of recycled materials.

This isn't the first attempt at 3D printing large structures in a short amount of time. Researchers in California are making a printer that can build a house in 24 hours.

In Amsterdam earlier this month, construction of a 3D-printed house began. The house is made out of plastic bricks that fit together like Lego. It's also being printed onsite.

Real estate agent sentenced for scamming South Bay landlords
By Eric Kurhi, San Jose Mercury News

SAN JOSE -- A 52-year-old real estate agent was sentenced to jail for running a confidence scam in which she bilked landlords for rent-free three-month stints at pricey properties throughout the South Bay, prosecutors said.

Rebecca Violette would present herself to landlords as a well-dressed, affluent real estate agent in immediate need of a place to live, said Deputy District Attorney Katharina Wells of the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office. She would lie about her income and past evictions and convince them to lease her a home on the spot, without doing a background check. Then she would pay for first and last month's rent with a bad check, Wells said.

"Before the unsuspecting landlord deposited the check, Violette moved into the property," Wells said in a news release. "At that point, the only recourse for the landlord was an 'unlawful detainer' action that typically takes 90 days from filing to eviction."

There were a total of 14 such unlawful detainers filed in Santa Clara County, Wells said, with Violette living at properties in Campbell, Los Gatos, Mountain View and San Jose.

Wells described the properties as "single-family homes in the $3,000-a-month range." ...

Dear Mr. Reno:
My tenant installed wall to wall carpet over my hardwood floors I clearly told her I was not funding carpets. She is being evicted for non payment of rent. She is refusing to pay now because she says take the cost of carpets out of what is owed. I am afraid of damage if she rips them out. What are my rights as landlord?
Lisa

A: The question is "what are my rights as landlord" Answer, same as any landlord. You can evict for nonpayment. You can deduct damages to the floor from the security. Any questions?

If you have a landlord tenant problem you'd like to ask a question about, please feel free to e-mail me your question.
Submit a landlord / tenant question for Mr. Reno
Please try to keep your questions as short and to the point as possible.
