If you converted your loft into an apartment and rented it out what conditions would you impose on tenants?

there must be a weekly goat sacrifice, they must drink mountain dew, and duel me daily for the title of ultimate ruler of the house


other than that, not much else

Must have a bong with a large, heavy, flat base so it's nigh on impossible to knock over.

Hmmm... being 'settled' with a 3 year old kid I'd have to say that they'd need to be presentable, honest, and quiet about disposing of bodies, and not bring home any unsavoury characters alive.

Years ago I rented a room out to a friend. If you've seen the British comedy 'Men Behaving Badly' then you have a rough idea of what it was like. But with weed instead of lager. And much more junk littering the place. I was distraught when my mother came round and refused to ever come around again until we'd got rid of the beer can mountain (2 feet round at the base and 6 feet high).

Why Mountain Dew? I think a beer fridge is pretty important also.

They would have to live in the skirting board like mice.

There must be one TV devoted to Playstation & one devoted to sport. The third one is for any visitors.

Wait, you might be serious!
Rule 0. Get a signature on a lease.
Rule 1. Pay the rent on time.
Rule 2. Don't start painting or other remodeling without my permission.
Rule 3. Pay the rent in full. And on time.
Rule 4. Don't pay with rubber checks. And pay on time.
Rule 5. No extra bodies in the loft that aren't on the lease should live there.
Rule 6. Remember the things you liked doing to your landlord? Don't let them do any of those.
Rule 7. No having fun. Not while in the loft, anyway.
Rule 8. If something is broken and the cost to fix is less than $X, you do it.
Rule 9. Inspect the property every month. This nicely leads into the next rule
Rule 10. Pay the rent on time.
