Hi y'all! So my husband and I are going back and forth on this... one of our tenants uses her front porch area as storage. It is a MESS and is very unsightly. My husband wants to write her an official letter demanding that she keep the space clear or at least tidy. I'm pretty sure that we can't make her do that - the lease (which we inherited from the previous owners) only states vaguely that she has to keep the "premises clean." Anyone have any thoughts or experiences with this sort of thing?
I've learned this the hard way as well myself. I manage the properties myself, and as I have mentioned before the learning curve is steep, and although I am trying to be nice about things I have constantly gotten bit in the *** by it. I have given the tenant warning, and now am waiting to see if she follows through. Let's see where it goes from here. Thanks again, everyone, for all the advice.

Don’t be disheartened this sucks but it will pass and you’ll come out wiser and stronger . Now you know what not to ever do again and how to refine your management skill set
