Here's the issue... these people can do whatever they want. dilapidated home, garbage/rubbish, drunken behavior, dangerous breed dogs etc.

@Chris LevarekI’ll be all for it as soon as our communist government also regulates my expenses such as property taxes, maintenance, and management fees.Of course they have to stop treating landlords like evil, money grubbing rubbish and tenants like victims.They also have to put price controls on gas and steak.

In any case, I found the following after she moved out:- Smoke/animal smell throughout the unit (she was a smoker and smoking in the unit was strictly prohibited and dog was allowed per the lease)- Carpet with cigarette burns and soaking wet at the time of removal (no telling how long its been like this)- Rear window has a broken pane (still functional as it is a double pane, but needs to be replaced regardless)- Holes in drywall- Replaced bedroom doorknob with deadbolt (because her middle school son was stealing cigarettes lol)- Backyard full of metal/wood fragments and general rubbish including shoes, a knife, batteries, fishing reels etc. 

Then the following week I see all these vases into the common hallway and back yard and told them they could not keep them thereFast forward to today, I showed up to collect the rent and not only did she not have the rent, but she claims she did not have heat in the apartment for three months (which is rubbish bc I tested the heat back in October when it was still warm out and not only are the furnace that are two years old working, but i installed new thermostats).

If you have ever cut a blocked waste pipe and watched sh*t literally pour over a brand new $200 Milwaukee sawzall, you'll understand why I'm considering some cheap rubbish from HF for those sort of jobs.If it's an expensive tool, then I'll rent, eg floor sanders, excavators, etc.

Reading books would be recommended however there are tons of rubbish out there.

You mentioned RUBS - - is that rubbish collection? 

Good to see/use some of the info over there but get in and out and leave the rubbish there please.

Think they have slightly different uses, but they are off the shelf.And for heavens sake, don't get dragged into the "it needs to be sprayed monthly/quarterly" rubbish.
