I am in Florida a couple friends and I are wanting to start a plastic surgery center.

it would cost about zero to put a piece of something up to cover the gap. if it is a chain link fence you can zip tie a piece of plastic  - it would cost about $10.   

If tenants put meat products/plastic/trash into the compost it doesn't work. 

Get the bigger plastic pots from Home Depot or Lowes and plant small bushes in them.

I had a showing lined up and he tells me 15 minutes before that he saw a plastic bag on the sidewalk with a white substance in it.

There are many things you cannot put in a garbage disposer, anyway, and most tenants, including myself, put garbage in plastic bags and throw it in the trash.The less you own the less you have to maintain.

At the risk of rightfully being accused of highjacking this thread:@Genny LiThe irony is the western elites sold our civilization on if we opened up to China (and let them ship us a bunch of worthless plastic crap to sell at Wal-Mart to dump in our oceans) we would liberalize China. 

Take a piece of plastic and tape it to a wall.

The PO replaced the plastic toilet lines with braided metal ones, but the toilet angle turn valves were still somehow encrusted with filth.

Plastic bin lids keep in stink much better. if you want to gamble on it, put up a fence to the side to be respectful so he doesn't have to look at it.
