Fourth, add a few decorative touches to make the home more appealing: Place a flower pot full of marigolds or brightly colored welcome mat by the front door; Set a colorful bowl of fruit on the kitchen counter; Install some decorative shelving on bathroom wall; Paint one of the walls in the living or family room an accent color that harmonizes with the rest of the room.Fifth, learn to live with and accept what that renter does with YOUR house.

Also, I wanted to hear their conversations to learn things about why they were looking for a place to rent, do they fight with each other, do they smell like smoke or pot, did they bring friends with them who are people I wouldn't want hanging around on my property, on and on.I know some people think having an open house generates a type of bidding frenzy, but you're still going to have to screen them.  

As well, as get rid of problem tenants without having to evict for breach of contract, and prove that.One type of smoke that you may not be able to anticipate is pot smoke.  

The other side and a 3 plug insert they added and they plugged in a microwave, coffee pot and a mixer. 

Nothing major - a fun-colored pot, dish towels, a bowl of colorful fruit and flowers in the kitchen; a shower curtain and towels in the bathroom; etc.

It is like having a bunch of strangers having the power to interfere with your investment.And then there are the board members who decide it's their mission in life to harass owners/tenants about every weird thing, like potted plants on the balcony or whatever.I only bought the one condo, intending to keep it forever and rent it out.  

Secret pot garden in the closet maybe?  

I'd get a black one, then all the appliances are black.If you could change out the sink for one that's a single sink with a new faucet like the one in the picture linked below, it would make it look a lot more modern and I love the new ones - it's so much easier to wash a huge stock pot. 

Tell them that you are concerned because the trash is not disposed of, but placed on the property in a manner that the children can get into it and that there is so much pot smoking in the unit that it is very noticeable. 

Could we say nothing to the lender, allow month-to-month Tenant B to stay, and then hope that Tenant A voluntarily moves out at the end of his original lease without the lender realizing we failed to meet the 60-day move-in stipulation due to the circumstances?
