So wrapping them in duct tape is not my optimal solution.I am willing to get a hepa mask and suit up and attempt to do the work myself but I am a littel hesitant as I have not dealt with this before and not even sure if I am legally allowed to.It is an unfinished basement that is empty except for the boiler and washer/dryer so maybe if I put plastic and seal off the entrance to upstairs wet the asbestos and remove/double bag it it is doable.

-fixing up the property little by little to build up "pride of tenant ownership": if the property is updated and taken care of, tenants will be more reluctant to destroy/harm it.I was also thinking of installing a ANIMAL WASTE STATION with a sign, trash basket and plastic bags, however it's 300$, and we will not need it within a year.

But it's the rigid ones, with with rigid plastic hinge cutouts that are lasting the longest and always close.

(To quote Dave Ramsey) something about not sending in $500 a month for a chunk if metal and plastic that gets me from point A to B is liberating.
