I'd have preventative treatments with a licensed vendor consistently, as often as it takes to mitigate the issue regardless of cost.

A reasonable modification refers to a physical change made to a rental unit or common area that allows a person with a disability to fully use and enjoy the premises.Examples of Reasonable Modifications:Installing a ramp or grab bars in a bathroom.Lowering countertops, peepholes, or light switches for wheelchair access.Widening doorways or removing carpet for mobility devices.Adding visual doorbells or smoke alarms for tenants who are hearing-impaired.Landlord Responsibility:The landlord must allow the modification if it’s reasonable and necessary.For federally funded housing (like HUD or Tax Credit properties), the landlord is usually responsible for the cost of the modification.For private or market-rate housing, the landlord may require the tenant to pay for the modification and restore the unit to its original condition upon move-out (if the change affects future marketability).The landlord can ask for plans and proof that the work will be done safely and professionally.Tenant Responsibility:The tenant is responsible for paying for and arranging the modification (unless the property receives federal assistance).The tenant must obtain the landlord’s approval before work begins.The tenant may be asked to restore the unit when vacating, depending on state or local law.Best Practices for LandlordsRespond to all accommodation or modification requests in writing and in a timely manner.Keep a Reasonable Accommodation/Modification Request Log for compliance records.Train leasing staff and maintenance teams on Fair Housing requirements.Post a notice or add a clause in your lease about Fair Housing rights for transparency.Final ThoughtsReasonable accommodations and modifications are not “special treatment” — they are legal rights designed to ensure equal access to housing.

That owner will naturally outwork the manager—because they're doing management work plus operational work.The regulation rewards actual effort, not manufactured participation.You can't be passive in reality and active for tax purposes.

Was it something financial, operational, or maybe just human nature showing up in your deal?

And don’t stress about finding the perfect mentor, just show up consistently and add value where you can, the right relationships form naturally.

Basically they limit anything likely to increase the usage on the septic.I think I would start by investing the limitations on your current septic system of if there is a nearby sewer that you can tie into.Depending on the constraint on the septic system, maybe an increased leach field or a ATU can address the limits of your current septic system.Aerobic Treatment Units (ATUs) are similar to standard septic systems in that they use natural processes to treat wastewater.

People can't afford LA or Santa Clarita so naturally they would keep going.

I would suggest that your lease obligate the tenants perform small maintenance to the rental property, so long as it is safe for them to perform the repair and the repair is, by its nature, a minor repair that does not involve any special skills, tools, or licenses.

Naturally the other benefit is owing less principle.
