Where'm I gonna live?

You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, but if I were the landlord, I'd fix the damn roof. Sister any rotten rafters and nail a new deck down. Shingle over that. Hiring it out would cost a few thousand, but it's money well worth it if he can keep a low maintenance tenant.

If they lose you and then fix the roof so they can rent it out again, they won't be able to find anyone as accommodating who can also pay rent.
