Well, a good three year lease has come to an end, and my tenants have elected to move out.  Two of them are going on to grad school, and I’m not sure what the other is doing.

I must say, they were pretty good tenants.  Sure, I had some phone calls fairly late at night with a broken thermostat and an extinguished pilot light on the water heater, but that is to be expected.  Stuff doesn’t last forever.  Then there was the major plumbing problem in the basement, but my buddy the plumber knocked out that problem fairly quickly.

There was a case where all three of them locked themselves out of the house on Easter Sunday, just as I was sitting down to eat with the family.  But if that’s my biggest problem, I’ll take it.

The current tenants move out July 31st, and I’ve managed to land some new students who move in August 10th.  I don’t expect any major repairs between tenants, but I thought I’d give myself a good week in case anything major needs to be done.  I suspect I’ll need some paint on the interior, a carpet cleaning, and a good old fashioned wipe down.  But we’ll see.
