concrete driveway stains

[Robert D.]

hi gang,

once again i turn to the pros and this great forum. i have a rental property leased out. not to sound nit picky but this property had a near immaculate clean driveway. i told the tenant that it needed to be cared for and what was expected she agreed it would be. i noticed one day her car had a small engine oil leak. she said she would park the car in the garage which she has not done. there are various small oil stains in the driveway now. i dont want to lose her as a tenant but a crappy driveway doesnt quite make the cut either. im thinking about writing her a notice of violation letter stating she is in violation of contract. yes it is in the contract that tenant shall keep clean of oil drippings. and perhaps the notice will keep her from allowing her car to continue to drip oil on the driveway. any advice?? thanks again
