Hello All,I have been dealing with a Month to Month Elderly, Alcoholic, Suicidal Tenant that Will Not Leave. 

Alcoholism and drug addiction - Some medical result revealed that using marijuana may help people with alcohol or opioid dependencies to fight their addictions.3.

These are all questions whose answers will help you chart the way forward ... there is no one size fits all answer.From an operational perspective it is always pleasant to know that your building envelope is relatively efficient (insulated and air sealed); that building systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC and communications are up-to-date and dependable) and that you have the ability to put accountability for resource consumption in the hands of the tenants.  

I do not even drink alcohol.

Rarely if ever do we get a call throughout the year from them.However, we had one highly qualified tenant who happened to be an alcoholic.

If I were to create a graph or chart that shows out of 10 possible candidates to hire, and show the amount that have a drug or alcohol problem, you would be shocked.

If so, you can bill back water/sewer consumption (increasing the NOI and cutting one of your largest expenses)  but you'll want to see if that's common practice with your competition and ensure rents line up as well.

She is more than 2 weeks late every month she has lived at the residence (also, she is an alcoholic and hostile with the other tenants, but that's not a legal reason to terminate tenancy).

You need to account for: Lawn care ($25-ish x 20-ish mows per season)Snow removal ($25-ish per plow x 20-ish plows per season)Water/Sewer: ~$240 per quarterHeating oil: Stated oil consumption in the listing is 730 gals annually - I'd confirm this with the fuel vendor if you can.

The Chinese are neophytes on the consumption scale.
