My husband was a Chemical Enginerd 🤭 & has a MBA.

I will pay for trash and sewer though leave a provision that if this is being abused like overfull trashcan fees, or disposing of waste or chemicals, electronics etc improperly will be billed to the tenant.I think that should cover it but I was curious how all that works for these kinds of properties should I make the payment but charge my tenants on the back end or should I have them get it in their names.Also do you usually make that a separate charge or do you include it with the rent payment and provide an itemized account of the charges?

I already am paying them for pest control, but they recommended sealing gaps in the home, installing a plastic barrier, and doing a termite chemical service.

@Veronica Thomas I have them sign off on a checklist through docusign that has a check-in / check-out column (fans dusted, floors mopped, self-cleaning oven cleaned, shelf out fridge cleaning, microwave inside clean, toliet scrubbed inside and out, cabinets crumb free, no chemicals/furniture/toliet brushes/brooms left on premise, no large garbage items on street curb, etc, etc) .

I'd recommend you try again using chemicals.
