Flushable wipes - do you allow/encourage/discourage that?
As I walk my properties I am noticing an increasing usage of flushable wipes. Using sitting on top of the toilet tank.
Are you noticing the same?
As a landlord, is this a concern to you?
I am sending this article from New York Times to all my tenants.
Wet Wipes Box Says Flush. New York’s Sewer System Says Don’t.
I am not saying they shouldn't or couldn't.
Thoughts?

I tell my new tenants that nothing is to be flushed down the toilet that hasn't been eaten first - except toilet paper :)
The lease is actually worded somewhat differently, but I do put a list of items that other tenants have flushed. Diapers, keys, socks, washcloths, small toys. Some were flushed accidentally by kids, others by those not thinking.
I use makeup wipes, but do not flush them.
