That was those renters' decisions, seriously!! I am DOING good thing for them and they know it and like it! Like one of the two housemates that paid their July 2017 rent to me chose to go back to China for a month and I agreed with her to hold her room for her when she returns in exchange for her paying rent on the room only, no utilities because she's not here to use the utilities! A paradigm I learned to work with housemates back in the 1990's when I had a housemate in the ROTC and he'd have to go to ROTC stuff in the Summers, and we worked it out for him that way.
