Appliances are abused, screens and screen doors torn and broken, yards dried up and weed-ridden, washer and dryers killed, dishwashers missing jet thingies, etc.   

If that money runs out, Medicaid will step.To prevent abuse, each state has stringent rules including "look back" periods where the state can disqualify someone based on the transfer of assets.

I have never had a problem with people abusing this.I also have over 50 5 star reviews on Homeaway because renters don't have to want for any basic supplies.Did someone give you a less than stellar review due to them being short a couple rolls of TP?

Why not spend $29, abuse it to the max and see if it best fits you, it not then cancel?

Act swiftly and with as much leverage as is still left to us these days when rent isn't paid or someone is abusing your property.

No one abuses them/has friends over to do laundry like a free w/d would attract.

To put it simply, and without sharing too many family details, I am helping my aunt, who is a victim of senior abuse by her kids, fix and flip her home after it was cosmetically destroyed and left vacant for many months.

Liability issues and nuisance factor due to tenant neglect and abuse make pools and hot tubes a defiant "NO WAY" for rental properties.Tenants are simply too irresponsible to ever trust them with anything that high risk.Guaranteed when a child drowns the landlord will be facing a lawsuit.

Especially considering the potential for abuse? 

I can't imagine being allowed a stepped-up basis when living because people would abuse it through straw man transfers left and right.
