Here’s what I would do:1- Turn off the exterior water bib; you should do it anyways when vacant or in freezing weather - if you really want to you can turn it back on when the tenant moves in - make that part of your movein/moveout process moving forward.2- Acknowledge it; not confrontational; go politely knock on their door and try to make light hearted talk Let them know that you saw the hose; you get it; but you’re really trying to keep your costs down when the house is vacant — your ultimate goal here is not to blame (although you should because they certainly know better) but try to win them over more so to get them into your camp as an ally —- a knock out would be something along the lines of ‘here’s my phone number if your ever need anything or if you ever have any issues with my tenants give me a ring’ - done right they will keep you in the loop as far as maintenance/tenant issues, etc. — again this goes against what you or I would want to do — to scold them and let them know they are thieves but what good does that do?
