dis-incentives/ fines for bad behavior

Ok there are late fees and buyout the lease clauses. We even have a fee associated with a citation for our student rentals but what other fines/fees/disincentives can you enforce? I have a tenant , thankfully she is moving out but she leaves her apartment door open and the door to the building open in the middle of winter. I took that props the door open thing off the door so she can't leave it completely open but we pay the heat and even with me there she still opens her apartment and leaves just the storm door with the main building door open so anyone can walk in. It is a safe area but it is inconsiderate. Can you have a dis-incentive for that kind of stuff? What have people done that works? She is only here another week but in case I get another jerk like this I am wondering what I might be okay to do.
