I always check out the landlord by using the Clark County Assessors Office website. You can verify the owners name and even get a phone number from their paperwork that was filed by the title company. Research your investments!! It only takes a few minutes and you can optain enough information about the landlord and verify through public records. NEVER PAY IN CASH!! At least use a money order, at least you will have a receipt. A third party renting out a home will have all the right credentials, but check them out anyway. Public records are available for free if you know how to look.

She was also charged with SOLICITING PROSTITUTION,
hmmm.. wonder what the dispute was about?

And you didn't try and stop her? Wow.

We all have our ups and downs in life, but how far down has one gone? That is my main concern for renting. A felony conviction does not mean a bad tennant. Of course a repeat offenders and sexual crimes are a huge red flag and personally will not rent to these people. I have had perfect tennants who I thought had good intentions, but even the best intended people have their down sides. I've been looked in the eye and shook hands with an almost perfect credit score tenant with no criminal background, and guess what? He skipped out damaged my home and took everything that could be detached. On the other hand I had a tennant that seemed shadey and he turned out to be one of the best tennants, took care of my home and even repaired things on his own. Of course you will get screwed on your rentals, it's a rental. The tenants don't have the same interests you do, most are trying to make ends meet and feed their family's. I collect rent on the first of every month in person. I like to see my investments first hand. Metro and "rent control" is for the birds, take the time to get to know your tentants, show them some respect. You will be surprised by the return in the end. ANYONE ANYTIME can screw you! Caveat venditor!! (Latin for "let the seller beware").

I applaud your protest. Changing the speed limit however, will not help this situation. A bridge would be best and should be planned for the future. We all know that if the county really wanted to do something about it, they could have a light installed in no time. Where is our Mayor stand on this? A 5 mph reduction does nothing for pedestrian safety, anyone who has lived here long enough know the dangers of speeding motorists. Most don't even konw they have a speedometer. The redtape BS really needs to stop. CLARK COUNTY, LISTEN TO YOUR CITIZENS!!
