My other one (3 years old) needed 2 new tires and a new radio so I had to get a new car and now I'm strapped."

You say you are cash strapped.  

of course I will send the other tenants a reminder - in the form of a Notice To Quit - they ( every properties Notice To Quit) have all been printed and other then dated, they are ready to go - I will never wait again no matted what the reason - get the clock ticking immediately - regardless - for me it will be 30 days from the Notice to Quit before the bailiff puts them out - I could hafve started this 12 days sooner - that delay will never happen again. 

As long as that number is reasonably high, then those messages about self responsibility and boot strapping are completely valid.

I like some of Beth's theme of things that do double duty (like new door mats and bath mats, which are dual purpose gifts that also protect your property from grit and moisture!).

Don't go to the mat over it.

(security windows, earthquake straps, etc...)

. - I kind of (have to) agree with @Bob Bowling here.Also, assuming the tennant is "using/selling meth", "shoot up his building dealing drugs", or "ODs on something in the unit and no one notices until they smell the decomp" is unfair.It would be like you renting a place...your landlord walks in and sees your 6 mo old baby strapped to a carrier while you are outside getting the carseat ready.  

Any applicant would be thrilled to see a washer / dryer in a unit, have you ever schlepped your laundry to a laundry mat or a common building laundry?

It is ethical but it still sucks hitting folks that are most likely already strapped.
