If the inspection is not conducted on the inside I will be left holding the bag. 

we also installed  66 bags of insulation in the basement apt ceiling to help buffer, which did help..

Also - I tried your solution with the vinegar in a bag but it is very difficult to do with this shower head.

There was no requirement for the owner to do anything as far as the results from the inspection.It would be like buying a brown paper bag mystery grab-bag to buy property without inspecting it.  

Personally, unless there were sleeping bags all over the place and little children crayon marks all over the walls, I'd turn a blind eye, with cautious awareness. 

She rolled up in a new Lexus SUV, designer hand bag, dressed to the 9 and complained about everything in the house.  

Two days ago, I got a call from them saying there is mold on their furniture in the bedroom, the window in the bedroom and living room and a bag they had on the floor by their bed near the exterior wall.

If not, schedule a maintenance inspection, see if anything else looks like it might need attention, and try to get a read on what is really going on there.We did have one tenant who only had sleeping bags, this was their work location rather than home base; it does happen.

The rep actually said if I were getting robbed I could just hand them my briefcase or bag, and then file a claim.Fortunately I never had to use it, but now I always mention it to tenants regarding their commute - mainly if they're taking mass transit into NYC.

hi. i am a landlord but i do not manage a 60 unit building. i agree with everyone, get a property management company to run things for you. i do a lot of work for a property management company here in the buffalo, ny area as a handyman. quite often, we handymen know of better and faster ways to get the parts you need than doing it on your own. that being said, a/c units have to have a licensed professional work on them anyway, but knowing how to get the parts faster is always a good thing. as far as the tenant threatening the police, lol, they won't even get involved. they have better things to do than worry about some joker sweating a little bit. you dropped off a fan, the tenant refuses to open the windows, which is on him, so he, himself is causing himself and his family more harm than you are. if he is worried about the high crime issue being on the second floor, lol, criminals work as little as they can. they sure as hell are not gonna scale the side of a building like spiderman just to rob this guys place of residence; unless he has a bag of money or gold stashed in the place, in which case he probably wouldn't have been late with the rent 6 times. my advice, continue down the path you are on. hire a property management company, boot this dumbass out the door when his lease expires and let him become someone elses problem. good luck
