Tell the tenants to use about a third as much soap as they used to.

We do monthly anniversary billing so it's a very up-to-date picture of things.

The only thing I might do next time is bring a bottle of hand soap and paper towels and ask them to wash their hands upon entering.

Double up on their living space.For the true long term homeless having access to nice clean (maid service) and hot shower and free soap will probably be a nice luxury.

Last year this time, I gave my two weeks notice to quit my corporate job. I just graduated college 1 year ago at the time, very little saved up. When I walked out of that office, people had smirks on their faces expec...

I'm still relatively new coming up on my second anniversary of being licensed next month. 

.- keep in mind that things like spices, towels, sheets, tp, paper towels, propane for bbq's, cleaning supplies, coffee filters, soap, have to be kept up to date, clean and refilled when you have weekly renters. 

I have a tenant who "slipped on soap and broke tub faucet off".

Like @David Krulac I fall in-between the polar points expressed here.Though we hold mostly multi-family properties, we do have a few SFRs which are student rentals at this time.In the case of a property that may be sold to a retail buyer, I agree that you would wait until you were preparing for disposition to affect the final cosmetic renewal and possible quality upgrades (i.e. moving to soap stone counters in the kitchen).That said, we look to affect efficiency retrofits early in our ownership of a property - usually at the first opportunity provided by turnover.
