In 6 months they broke 3 light fixtures - I had reports their kids were spraying a garden hose from the outside of the house into the kitchen, broke a large kitchen cabinet door, broke several plastic pieces of a new higher end Fridge, fist sized hole in the wall, carpet stains and the entire house may need another repaint, damaged woodwork, scratched kitchen cabinets, stole the curtain rods, curtains my wife spent a lot of time picking out stolen, destroyed the back yard - let the weeds grow several feet tall in the flower beds etc.  

My dad was Chief of trauma surgery for a major hospital in Chicago.

I agree that newer appliances are using cheaper parts for sure - more plastics than metal - but basic appliances by name brand companies without frills are still ridiculously reliable.

He wrote that the man was going to have surgery on his back sometime in the future from 2 weeks after they were to have moved out to 2 years and then depending on how the surgery went he could have several years recovery time when he would have lifting restrictions.so, I told his advocate that according to doctors statement he was not currently disabled and he needed to move out before his surgery and he was disabled  Also no one was requiring he lift anything, 4 adults lived in tbat house, plus one can hire help.They did move out!

I pay utilities on several of the multi units and over the last couple years have placed plastic sheeting on the outside of the windows during the winter months to help with heating and lower costs.Talking to a relative recently it was mentioned that this could be a safety issue if someone were to have a fire.

Buy ready mix spackle from HD and a plastic 2" putty knife, run the spackle across the holes.

But If you already have a deep well that's plastic casing, well pumps arent too horrible cost wise to replace. 9/10 times a well breaks down it's the pressure switch which is like a 15 minute repair.

Give them a heads up before doing treatment with what the pest guy says needs to be done,, trash, put food items in plastic containers,, ect.If they don't comply give them notice to move, non- compliance with terms of lease, cleanliness. this could infest your entire building, and I would have pest guy treat all neighboring apartments. 

This is a newish tenant to us but she's been in the house over a decade and is laid up after surgery.

Peanut butter on glue traps, check the traps daily or you will hear the little guy fussing and fighting to get free, use a plastic shopping bag or two as a glove to pick up and wrap in the glue trap with mouse still on it in the bag and tie that in a knot, then proceed to step on him or give him a fast swing and slam on the side of the trash can, then dispose of the dead vermin.The poison, is not always attractive bait and then they can die in your place and smell, or be eaten by other animals that we don't want to kill(owls, bobcats, pet cats and/or dogs)About a dozen kills to my credit.
