so apparently one of my PM tenants lost her job and instead of finding a new one, according to the neighbors. has people knocking on the shared front porch door often for tailoring services and she also sells clothes from her apt and babysits too.

the lease doesn't say she cant do business from home nor say she can't put a sign in her window, but what about the quiet enjoyment for other tenants?

this is residential zoning not commercial, in case that matters.

Rules and Guidelines are in place to promote good things not because one is a nosy landlord. A good landlord makes a strong neighborhood and if tenants don't want a landlord to be involved they just might have something they don't want them to know about. The tenant having a business or two, is not just breaking an arbitrary rule in a lease by an overbearing landlord. They are causing additional wear and tear on the property which the landlord did not account for. They are infringing on the rights of other tenants and neighbors, and they are dramatically increasing the liability of the owner. 

In this business, I can't trust anyone who doesn't have the ability to recognize liabilities as it is vitally important to all stakeholders...
