What we do, is we tell all our tenants, after each year, we're committed to improving our properties and their quality of life, so we give them a $200 voucher for repair/improvements with us, and ask them what they want added or done, maybe a new toilet, or a room painted, stuff like that... so they tell you what they want, and it is all tax deductible!
