Identifying Intentional Water Wastage in Building

[Nick M.]

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone has experienced intentional water wastage by a tenant (running sink water etc) in an apartment building.  I'm suspecting someone is upset because their rent was raised.

If so, how did you go about finding the responsible party?

Thanks

@Nick M. Don't trust your tenants to do the inspection, they will never care as much as you. Give them proper notice and then you or a property manager should go in and inspect each unit. In addition to the toilets you can look for water damage on the walls, floors, ceilings, etc. in case there is a broken/leaking pipe somewhere.
