Because of this, have a candles/incense ban as well as no smoking.

If we find it is a tenant caused probable, we charge them for the cost of clean out.Depending on the price of the insurance, it may be worth it, but if you only have a few houses, the odds of not having a back up is in your favor.As an investor and future owner of many more properties, you should try your hand at doing it yourself; Rent the machine with the auger and motor on itTurn the water off to the commodeDrain it as best you canRemove the two closet bolts (when replacing, don't tighten too tight or your brake the porcine commode).Remove the wax ring--- messy, stinky -- use cloves - don't get it on your clothingLife the commode from the waste line......guaranteed you'll get water on you (hope it is not yellow)Now feed this heavy cable down the waste line as far as you can go.Push the start button on your machine and watch the cable spin as it seeks the block, oh, be careful because sometimes stuff will fly out and may  smack you in the face.If you are lucky you'll find a baby's toy, a rag or some sort of material that may be unpleasant; bag that ugly stuff for later disposal.Oh, did you buy a wax ring?

Had candle warmers and put melted wax down all the drains and put potatoes under and in any and every nook and cranny.

IMO it's none of their bees wax.

You can also burn the candle at both ends and learn real estate investing while staying in college.

The way it reads now, if the tenant knocks over a candle and burns down the place, you're not going to go after him because you agreed to indemnify him.

Doing one right could have softened the blow of the other but his candle burned out from both sides.
