Tax incentives make sense for the government to motivate certain behaviors.

I just boot them out if they do things like this or aggressively raise rent on them to compensate for their behavior.

They read our posts and it does have an effect on their behaviors, even if only a little.There is nothing embarrassing about a newbie being fooled by a more experienced person.

More states and local areas are adopting rent controls, so landlords risk not only being stuck with tenants whose behaviors fall just below the threshold of evictable, while at the same time, stripped of the ability to charge market rent.

Credit score of X, or no money judgements, no evictions, etc.You literally cannot predict human behavior ... a good tenant can turn into a bad tenant through no fault of the PM. 

I don't reward bad behavior with financial incentives.

You've also subconsciously trained yourself to accept bad behavior for long periods of time.Rent is due on the first day of the month.

I also politely recommended he review his statements every month to hold me accountable rather than waiting a year and forcing me to spend half a day researching historical data.If your PM makes it right and makes an effort to correct the bad behavior, they are probably worth keeping.

It was a difficult conversation to have, but in the long run it saved me an enormous headache and his behavior improved.I don't want to scare you away from house hacking with friends; it is still hands down the best option to get started in real estate.

So you plan to reward negative behavior and then this guy going to be a headache for another landlord?
