im getting rid of tenants (or at least some of their bad habits)

So it has occurred to me that tenants are hard on properties, i thought about building a structure made completely out of concrete, however it didn't test well in the market.  So as an alternative i am creatively looking for other options.  What would be the top 3 areas that biggerpockets feels tenants are hardest on? Crazy stories are encouraged and often retold lol (Dont worry, names and dates will be changed to protect the innocent)

Carpet

Carpet is the one throw-away item.  You are lucky if you get 5 years on a carpet.   Carpet in living rooms tends to go really fast.   To lower maintenance costs try only putting carpet in bedrooms and use durable flooring everywhere else.  Vinyl plank is nice because it is durable and easily repaired.
