I'm a tiny bit confused about the landlord issue. Are you both being landlords or just him? And will the rental property be the house you're in right now?
My WH and I are landlords in another state and have been for about three years now. In the contract that I wrote him (that he still hasn't returned to me. . . ) I laid out how arrangements with the rental property will go.
