They abused the chance, and my generosity

Even if you want to make your units abuse-proof, why do so at the expense of a carpet that will last for a few years, or a recently painted room that may not be the color you would have selected but is perfectly fine for a tenant to live in?  

Since the cabinets are going to be in the kitchen and are going to take more use and abuse than normal walls do you go with a different type of paint for those?

And if she signs a contract it could possibly be deemed elder abuse that we took advantage of her.

To prevent abuse of hot water, go to a small tank, instead of tankless "instant" hot water. 

Reminds me of the same crap I just heard recently from my friend's abusive and manipulative boyfriend who has 3 DUIs and no job. 

The MDF cabinets are also less easy to paint with a roller than the unfinished ones after some tenant abuse although I've done it before using appliance paint.For bathroom sinks, I've been leaning toward the $54 pedestal sinks because it seems like they would hold up better and look better in the long run than the particle board vanity sinks.

I've never death with it and Some tenants may abuse it and I'm sure they do.
