I knew he smoked pot as I would smell it in the house sometimes and he like to work at night time...but at the time I told myself I didn't care as long as he did a good job.

I would stash that 3K/month until you have a larger pot to pull from. 

Crap or get off the pot. 

As far as I am concerned, I am self employed and the net is my earnings. 

also give them outline where they should plant these items (like previous comment says, too close to the property could damage it in the long run depending on the tree) Also, you can say potting is allowed but that's for your personal expense/hobby.if its edible plant(herbs and vegetables), definitely only at their yard or potting use only.... 

It does seem like a melting pot, especially in Greater Boise.Until my wife is back in the work force, which will be a few years, we are a one income family making around 80k with 70k in the bank. 

It really is/was a way for those with a pretty good amount of money to put a small amount of that large pot to work in something that if it worked, great, but if not OK they lost some of their principal but when you are worth 10+ figures already it's not soul-crushing.

If you manage to keep reno at 50k, which is doubtful given there are "difficult repairs" needed, you still have min 6% commission so sales net is down to 159,800. 

Looking for ideas to stop this FAST....a new tenant that has just moved into it fully renovated apartment within the last 60 days has admitted when questioned to smoking pot inthe apartment stating that she didn't know that she wasn't supposed to smoke in the apartment.

@Joseph Barnes ,Something you'll need understand about being a landlord versus being a short term rental host is that as a STR host you're crossing over into another industry: hospitality, on top of being a property owner.A short term rental is expected to be fully furnished as well as fully stocked with a coffee brewer, pots, pans, utensils, dishes, cups / glasses, flatware, towels, soap / shampoo, other bath items, bed linens, ... even some basic food items like breakfast cereals, canned items, etc.
