Rental rules about excessive cooking with oils and grease

Timothy G.

Posted

I have looked at many properties where the tenants cook with oils and grease.  I have passed many of these properties up because of the smell, the cost of cleaning walls and cabinetry and the damage that has occurred because of this.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to something that can be added to a leases rules and regulations regarding the excessive use of oils and grease (what would be considered excessive in one group of people wouldn't necessarily be called excessive in another group/race)?  I do not want to discriminate but I also do not want to have my property damaged because of this.  I would also want to put something into the lease regarding the proper disposal of this as well.

Thanks for any input and suggestions!

That’s silly , you probably missed out on many good deals over something stupid that can be remedied . You can add anything you want in the lease but most tenants won’t even read it much less follow it . You can warn them but you can’t fix stupid . Some folks pour bacon grease down the drain and you gotta pay a plumber to come in and snake the drains . Don’t ask me how I know
