@Craig Garrow Did you diplomatically confront the maintenance guys about it?

To me it seems there would be so many other ways to avoid this confrontation by selecting painfully obvious legal ways to avoid renting. 

I don't know if they realized repairing torn screens would be cheaper than replacing missing screens.Their new landlord has informed me that they're behind rent on her house and have made changes that she's worried about but hasn't confronted them on.During the move-out inspection of the next tenant, several things were pointed out as "that's the way it was when we moved in", such as a broken countertop corner, broken cabinet hinges, holes in walls behind doors and conveniently placed posters that were left from tenant to tenant, and poorly repaired damaged window sashes.What I've learned from this experience:I now have an inspection form that I follow so I can be more thorough. 

It started with loud noise and has escalated into throwing eggs at cars, bottle onto their porch, and direct confrontation.

And really, it seems like the best it does for a landlord is help to avoid confrontations with tenants who were too cheap to pay for renter's insurance. 

A big multi unit apartment building is a bit to confront with no experience!

She confronted her landlord- and same thing, "you knew this when you rented it and if you don't like it you can find another place."

There would be many different  to do this but this made sense to avoid confrontation. 

I really don't get it.The other weird thing is all the cars show up like clockwork right around 9:30pm (also not an ideal time to confront a number of dudes (albeit a lot smaller than me lol).

On the other side, lying about it can give you a way out of confrontation, but it can also backfire on you.
