Steve, most of my nasty sewer adventures here have to do with dessicated 100-year-old crap in the ancient cast-iron lines of the old houses of the area.

New roof with sheathing (old tin-style shingles with purlins), new water heater, new electric panel with a lot of wiring, new kitchen & bathroom, and yet I still have ancient windows and old plumbing (on the plus side, someone before me had the foundation redone).

I don't care if the program just got implemented or if it's ancient.

I’m really glad @Jim K. responded on ancient wherever.  

better solution with your ancient boiler, get rid of the whole thing and install a gas forced air system.

I see that with the "similar posts you may like" bar....some of them are ancient by most standards- so may or may not help, but there is zero reason to comment on them at that stage. 

Ancient, oversimplified and definitely out of compliance, but the approach to yields and negotiation might be useful.

That being said, there are more 1900 dollar two bedroom apartments available right now than you could have imagined a few years ago, and the sub-250k housing stock that used to be abundant is pretty much ancient history.

@Josh Sterling,Perhaps the ancient philosophy applies and will help you to define the answer to your question; Do unto others as you would have done unto you.

I am ready to get my tenants to pay online instead of the ancient way of checks.
