(I have had tenants turn the AC off when they move out or the heat in winter)- We require they have someone check on the property if they leave it for more than 5 days (This is to make sure there are no water leaks or HVAC issues that lead to problems while they are gone)- No businesses can be run from the property (to prevent day care, laundry services, gambling, drugs or who knows what)- We specify yard care includes week spraying and cleaning up sticks less than 1" in diameter (otherwise tenants think yard care is mowing only)- We state that tenants utilities can be used for routine maintenance or repairs (I once had a tenant complain the roofers were using his power for their compressors)- We have a whole section on mold stating that mold is naturally occurring and results from excess moisture.

Unfortunately with this property I "inherited" a slow-paying tenant, an eviction where the tenant waited until the last minute to move out, followed by the realization that the property was a drug house, 40 man hours of cleanup... then the two break-ins.  

If I run out the drugs, low lifes and trouble makers and turn around the reputation, in a few years I can get rents to where they should be which would add about $4000 per month in revenue.

Almost every doorjamb had been kicked in, tiles cracked and broken from chopping wood inside, water damage, shoddy repairs, etc.I am not saying that you cannot structure this in a way that works for you, but the owner of this house did not and felt overwhelmed by the end condition.The story I got from neighbors is that there where always new folks coming in as workers were fired for drug use, quit, moved away etc.  

Needless to say the arrangements were set and he was all scheduled to start the trial in Madison when the pharmaceutical company pulled the trial drug and we were left without treatment.. arrangements made were at our risk but worth the effort.
