outside cleaner - grand father in from previous owner

A son of tenant(section 8) has been getting paid $100 per month from the previous owner to sweep and do the garbage duties once a week. but I found that he does garbage, but not sweep. also he accumulated LOTS OF HIS JUNKS in the laundry room, and basically uses as his storage room. What is the best way to iron out this situation. He became my first headache since the acquisition.

Is this an apartment building? Post a notice on the laundry room door saying "This is not a storage room. Anything left in the room after the end of the week will be thrown away." 

Your choices: stop paying him since he doesn't sweep and hire someone else; pay him more to sweep or tell him he's supposed to sweep.
