I never had someone say no on the application but realistically they probably figure I will never ask.When they turn the application in, its a perfect time to ask to visit them if I have any doubts or if they have pets to see if the house smells like pets or if it looked like they did not vacuum the floors in months or dishes piled up for weeks just in general see how they live before letting them move in and find this out 1 month after they moved in and its to late.

They climb on tables and kitchen counters and purr-rub against dishes, gross.  

I usually go to the dollar store and spend $15-20 and get a roll of toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, can opener, some of those popcorn containers and microwave popcorn, a potholder, a kitchen towel, some cleaning supplies (hint, hint), a couple of the picture holders I like them to use, some kitchen trashbags, and a card.

(Example: I go through A LOT OF TOILET PAPER AND PAPER TOWELS every month, and the sink is ALWAYS full to the brim with dirty dishes), but I'm making it work!

That includes the typical stuff like a full paint job, replacing all of the flooring, replacing kitchen counter-tops with low-grade stuff, making various minor plumbing repairs, minor electrical repairs, replacing a door or two, landscaping, and stove and dish-washer.

It gives the following blurb as examples of ineligible items:"Barbecue pits; bath houses; dumbwaiters; exterior hot tubs, saunas, spas, and whirlpool baths; outdoor fireplaces or hearths; photo murals; swimming pools; television antennas and satellite dishes; tennis courts; tree surgery. 

Do you run everywhere, wash all your dishes, use a typewriter to post on BP? 

Only exception is with things like washing machines and dish washers.

Dishes should not accumulate in sink.- Repair requests should be made in writing.- No more than 2 overnight guests of the same gender per month.

Unless I am on the road my wife has not cooked or done a dish in that time..
