What prevents a tenant from just letting the bathtub run continuously for a month, perhaps as a way of disapproving of an eviction?

Sometimes tenants will let friends come over and wash their trucks, some washing vehicles will illegally fill up large tankers for water off of your spigots, your tenants might let water run for hours for kids to play in the yard, etc.When tenants do not pay water they typically care less how much they use or if toilets run, sinks drip, bathtubs leak BUT if they pay the bill they almost always call the landlord for a single drip!

One thing that I have learned is to press your foot down around the base of the toilet, bathtub, or anywhere where water could leak out to feel for spongy or soggy subfloor.

I need to change bathtub toilet, put in new faucets, vanity, put in new tiles and paint it (it has wallpaper right now, so in need of preparation for paint).

For example, it tells you how long it should take to hang a ceiling fan, install a bathtub, etc.

Tenant agrees to keep on hand andproperly use a plunger when necessary to unclog drains and prevent wateroverflow from toilet, sinks and bathtub."

If your market is a really strong buyers market then that would be a consideration to make it more marketable.Most bang for the buck would be adding a bathtub to the 1/2 bath as long as you don't cause a defect to the rest of the home's appeal by doing so.

What about installing a new bathtub - Trained handy man or Plumber

I was wanting about removing the bathtub since I never take baths and there is one in the hall bathroom.

I received a text tonight from the tenant with a picture of what is coming out of the bath tub.
