Flushable wipes - do you allow/encourage/discourage that?

As I walk my properties I am noticing an increasing usage of flushable wipes.  Using sitting on top of the toilet tank.

Are you noticing the same?

As a landlord, is this a concern to you?

I am sending this article from New York Times to all my tenants.


Wet Wipes Box Says Flush. New York’s Sewer System Says Don’t.

I am not saying they shouldn't or couldn't.

Thoughts?

I tell my new tenants that nothing is to be flushed down the toilet that hasn't been eaten first - except toilet paper :)

The lease is actually worded somewhat differently, but I do put a list of items that other tenants have flushed. Diapers, keys, socks, washcloths, small toys. Some were flushed accidentally by kids, others by those not thinking. 

I use makeup wipes, but do not flush them.
