I don't think we have a right to tell tenants how to live, but we do have a right to set living standards vis-a-vis the lease; e.g. setting expectations.My duplex has an upstairs tenant who was messy, in the sense that they didn't clean up their food and dirty dishes.

I do need to buy a stove which was included in the 6,000 the fridge is nice enough and no room for a dish washer.

Ever have to do kitchen dishes in a bathroom sink or tub because your kitchen is torn up?

She can then spray the plants that they are on with a mixture of water and dish soap which will kill aphids that the ladybugs are feeding on.

But I had to dish out another $1,000 to have the trash removed.Well, I'd better let others have a chance to tell their stories.

yeah, let us know so I can drive by and put dish soap in the fountain if you've got one LOL!!

They have "sniffers" that can detect very small leaks.Mix dish soap and water in a spray bottle.

I even went so far as to show up with a box of dirty dishes and wash them while painting touchups from the movers.
