Once the market took back off from the last crash, I kinda wrote off any other RE investments until the next crash.I think this discussion flushed out what was bothering me the most.

Then went in to discern that the offender had not only kicked in the front too for ingress, but had also left a tribute in the toilet.I joked that had the water been left on he may, in fact, have flushed his tribute.

Imagine a "finicky toilet" that mostly flushes after a few tries!  

Yes, you can decide to spend more or use other designs like flush mount leds but these boob lights worked great and are an easy and fast install.

@David Avery It isn't a bad idea to leave those steel sash perimeter frames in, a flush fin will cover the outside (usually) then trim the inside.

I have a Section 8 tenant that has been a great tenant for 2 years.Recently she's let the house go to crap and the final straw was a basement flood from her flushing tampons.

The most likely culprit is a toilet that constantly runs or flushes.

It'll be a bit of a unicorn hunt in this General Contractor's labor market (GCs are flush with biz right now).

(It cost around $17 extra when I flushed our pool water.)Where did the water goIt’s not abandoned if your name is on it.

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.
