Improving tenants behavior with incentives?..
For a few minuets i was thinking how can you keep tenants on your rental properties for a long time without having issues.
Then i though of the allstate guy that gave 100 bucks for every 6 months you didnt have an accident. okay... has anyone implimented this method to having more loyal and less damaging tenants

Instead of tying it to their tenancy, why not just send them a $25 gift card every 4-6 months that you don't have a problem with them. I would suggest being general as to why you are gifting them anything because, if you say the reason and they go 6 months and don't receive anything from you, they'll feel entitled and you'll have pissed off tenants, even if you explain it.
I would say, if they are good tenants, maybe Christmas and July 4th send them a "Thank you for being good tenants" gift.
