That will cause almost anything to fail and wear out far faster than normal, probably void any warranties, plus will likely create a trip hazard at doorways and perhaps unsteady walking conditions across the expanse of the flooring, which would be a hazard to health and safety in itself and expose you to liability if someone were to get hurt as a result. 

The other five consist of a country club, five health clubs with office buildings. 

I'm currently attaining a Masters in Counseling - think academic, not mental health.

If so it gives you some ammo for the eviction , check to see if its legal by your local health dept .    

Anything that constitutes a major threat to the health or welfare of the tenant or the property is a maintenance/repair emergency.

I made a big mistake not keeping up with rents a few years ago due to health issues.

If alarms are battery-powered, there must be documented records of periodic maintenance.

Depends on the particular states requirements, the repairs at issue, how and when the tenant has contacted the landlord, what is considered a "timely" manner.Are we talking about a repair issue that affects the tenants health or safely (i.e., no heat in winter, no adequate plumbing) or something minor (the toilet roll holder fell off the wall).Gail

I read a lot about it because I did not want to risk tenants health and everything said the best idea is to just leave it be if possible but that removal was generally not considered a big risk. 

For their health (and our liability risk) I am going to tell them they are required to move out for the duration of the remediation.
