Except for service or companion animals, I'm not even allowed to have any animals "just visiting" if a friend or neighbor wants to stop by for a couple of hours.

I just bought a batch of blank 18x24 yellow corrugated plastic signs.

The contractor I had used for the home back then was always proud of saving me money on material and had installed plastic shut-off valves, probably saved me $5 a piece - on 8 valves total in the house.

Plastic Cups treated with the product

Go a day ahead of the exterminator with a giant box of thick 50 gallon contractor trash bags and make sure the tenants but everything in plastic boxes or double tied up trash bags (be careful when you get back home).

If you want something more durable, get the thicker blinds (heavy plastic slats) not the cheap aluminum ones.

People are not careful and run too much grease down the drain and sewer clogs up, or baby drops a plastic lid in toilet that plugs sewer, $1200 later the plumber fishes it out after sewage backed up and ruined $1000 of carpet.

They are on a corner lot and inside their hillbilly fence they have 2-3 dogs, a dog kennel, a shed, a chicken coop with chickens (I think 5, which is allowable in our city) and now a duck as well as a plastic greenhouse.They do keep their yard mowed, but this fenced in menagerie is an eyesore.Would I be out of line to contact the landlord and ask him to PLEASE put up a privacy fence, so we don't have to look at all the junk these people have crammed into their back yard? 

Then to make matters worse after I’m already discouraged about my efforts as a real estate investor, I come home to find a dead chicken in my front yard wrapped up in a black plastic trash bag.

I'd try to rent it without it. at most,  go to HD and get a Sutter home or whatever it's called plastic shed for 650 bucks.
