You can make minor adjustments based on the type of appliances (dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, air conditioning, etc.) and the size of the rental.

I got a 10x10 with shade cloth for 125 bucks off CL, perfectly fine as the GF's two little what's it's don't live in it, just stay there to gaze and bark at birds without leaving surprises in the rest of the yard.Metal posts and chicken wire is about the cheapest fence you can erect, just set two posts for a chain link gate, or build one. :) .

In my situation, they took all their furniture, clothes, food, toiletries.

(h) You must receive written consent from us to possess a clothes washer, dryer or portable dishwasher inside your unit.

Shouldn’t they tax you 1.69% annually on the furniture in your house, the tools in the garage, your clothes?

It's advisable to wear warm clothing to stay comfortable and avoid getting sick.

Sure, we have some $2000+ up rentals, but those are high-end Class A and do not apply to this discussion as far as a general rule.If a tenant makes less than $1,500 / month and pay $500 or more for rent, they only have $999 or less to live on: groceries, utilities, gasoline, car repair, credit cards, medical care, "fun" (they always have money for fun, it seems), Christmas gifts, birthday gifts, clothing, unlimited cell phone data plan, 300 channels of Cable TV and all the rent-a-center payments. 

Fortunately found it the next day and all the clothing she left on the floor absorbed it.

One of the ways the building department inspectors would catch, cite and close down these illegal apartments was, as they were walking down a block of say, 2-family houses, if they saw 3 or 4 mailboxes or doorbells, they would take note and do an inspection.If the third apartment had a stove/bath/bed/clothing... busted. 

If you add up all the beer, food, specialty clothing and tools that gets left behind; it more than offsets the cost of things that went missing.
