I asked one of the guys and he said they have been selling the small samples, and mostly were the wives and daughters asking for it.It comes in various scents, from vanilla bean, to fresh air, to sea breeze, to clean and crisp or spring rain to those fruity strawberries etc...and I thought at the time I would try it, just being curious.My concern was also it would repulse some people, I went and read reviews, the brand they sell at the Home Depot is Paint Scentsation.Paint ScentsationIt recommends 1 oz added to 1 gallon of paint, I only used 0.25 oz for a whole gallon and it was pretty mild.I only used it in the two closets, thinking that very few people would object to the scent of a cedar lined closet, and probably prefer that over a musky sweaty closet (especially if they keep the laundry basket there).As for how long it lasts, the web site says:Q.

Statistics show that tenants use up to 40% more water when they do not pay for it.Your options are usually to:1.Have the total rent include water,sewer,and trash.2.Sub meter out the units from the water company if they allow it3.Prorate the amount of water usage for the building an bill each tenant.4.Have a company bill them instead of you.5.Have a private company install meters which is cheaper and they bill the tenant for what they use.This avenue you are still responsible to pay the water to the city/county even if you bill the tenant and they do not pay.On lower income housing I see about 60 to 65% pay their water you bill them for every month and the rest you have to chase for the money.You have to pay the water company regardless.The other factor is tenants will let friends was cars with the outside spigot,take showers,do their laundry,etc. and the tenants will also usually not report leaks or drippy faucets as they do not pay for the water.Another thing to look out for is what does the city/county charge for water and sewer rates.If you research a county you might find they have upped the water rates by 50% in the last 6 years.So one county using 1,000 gallons costs you 100 and in another county it costs you 56.You have to really look at how old the water and sewer system is for the city/county etc. and look at all the costs.I can tell you water is the talk of the town with buyers of multifamily.It can just crush your bottom line.
