I'd be very cautious about dismissing this as abandonment.Also, everywhere in Utah that I've operated (not SLC), you must keep tenant's personal property for 30 days before you can dispose of it not 15.I'd recommend contacting (and joining) the Utah Apartment Association and getting a second opinion from them before spending more money on your current attorney.  

What should not go down the garbage disposer?

I currently live on my own (renting), and have a great job for my age with a decent amount of disposable income.

My lease...Tenant shall refrain from disposing of things such as diapers, baby wipes, sanitary napkins, tampons, paper towels, wads of toilet paper, newspaper, children’s toys, matches, Q-tips, balls of hair, grease, oil, table scraps, clothing, rags, sand, dirt, or rocks into drains or toilet.

There are exception, I consider carpet to be disposable, but it's much less expensive to install higher quality materials, plywood cabinet boxes, mid grade plank vinyl, etc, than putting in cheap garbage and replacing the entire house every five years. 

DISPOSING OF CONSUMER REPORTSWhen you're done using a consumer report, you must securely dispose of the report and any information you gathered from it.

The ability to assume these obligations from all sources of cash need to be considered and for a period of time necessary to dispose of the collateral.

You do realize this requires some permits and special disposal and special safety equip. etc.?

I hate stinky butts.DonProbably, but if the price for having a tenant who pays $50/month more than the last tenant on time, every month, is disposing a coffee can full of butts at the end of a year, then I'm all for it.

No college student is going to qualify with me as to credit history, there will not be sufficient credit estabished by a 20 year old (I require 5 years, so they would have to start at 15, not likely.I explain the credit issue and simply require mom. dad or both (or any responsible relative) to sign the lease as a guarantor and qualify them as to disposible income, which is different than thier income.I want to see twice the rent as disposible income, after they pay all of thier expenses, so the guarantor needs a grand to play with to cover a $500 rent.
