Even so, many of those that have been in arrears had cable tv, cigarettes, beer in the fridge, and a bottle of Crown Royal on a high shelf.

And I include my "I buy houses" fridge magnet, and have received calls many months after the mailings. 

I keep this sign on the fridge.

Personally I like to wipe inside of fridge with bleach, toilets bleach, tubs bleach and after using that and comet on sinks. the smells are pretty much done with.  

We need a fridge also, so that's another $500 or so.

More people in kitchen, more dirty dishes, more fridge space.

Some cover major systems (HVAC, electrical, basic plumbing), but not personal appliances like the fridge or washer/dryer. 

He first claimed the fridge was not working and I did replace it. 

We have an executed contract and waiting to hear from the bank....the people leaving at the whose had been evicted ( by the bank) last week.I was able to see better the property after the eviction happened, and I found two issues:- All appliances were taken ( Washer, Dryer, Stove and Fridge)- By talking to the neighbors I found out the property has a septic tank and is not connected to the city sewer , this was not disclosed on the original listing of the property.The question is ??

This year I'm giving $50 dinner gift cards each to:- my main handyman, who has helped renovate 8 units this year, plus bailed me out when a tenant's fridge went out when I was on vacation and the spare was in a storage unit.- the HVAC guy, who I count on to fix my tenants' furnaces and A/C the day they go out, and has very reasonable pricing- my plumber, who has unclogged many a drain, changed hot water heaters post haste, and changed garbage disposals and faucets when needed, so I don't have to.- my painter/drywall guy/cleaner husband/wife team, who charge me the same whether it takes 1, 2, or 3 coats of paint to cover the nasty colors a former landlord allowed- the floor refinishing guy, who has done a good job on 8 or 9 floors this year.
