Landlords - What are all your practical Money savers?

I thought it would be nice to have a collecting point for day to day money/time savers for rentals. Some things I do or have seen on the forum so far:

Remove storm doors.
Advertise rentals on craigslist
Remove or lock outside spigots.
Submeter or RUBS the utilities you pay yourself.
Put in low flow showerheads and put 2 liter soda bottle in toilet tank.
Convert laundry room to pay.
Convert all bulbs to fluorescent.
Replace grass with groundcover, gravel, flowers, etc.
Buy your own pressure washer - $85 at WalMart.
Buy post 1989 buildings (lead).
Advertise & Rent entire duplex to one family (I did this).
Have tenant rents ACH or have them deposit to your account.

PLEASE keep items to one sentence and list each separately!!!
