Most renters here are different from your typical renters. They pay too much in rent and deposits to not be mindful of the home, neighbors and property. That, plus the fact most renters are older does seem to make a difference. I've had more than one neighbor tell me they wished various renters would become permanent residents (and many of them have in fact purchased here).

Most renters do the minimum improvements and minimum maintenance-- yes there are exceptions -- no pride in their property -- just a source of income

I enjoy meeting new people that come for the first time that are renting a home. They are so excited and have found them to be very good with rental properties. They love to join in in the neighborhood when there's parties and potlucks. They are hoping soon to be a homeowner and are just coming to try out. The cost of them being here is not attracting The typical renter. Most come here and fit in just like a resident. I have never had any issues of a rental home next-door to me.
