This probably isn't an uncommon phenomenon though. People use forums like this to vent, so it is a possibility that the "problem" of rentals is more apparent than real.

Agree to a point. **** properties probably are kept well. Problem is length of the rental. Should be no less than 30 consecutive days minimum and not the weekend or weekly ones.
