For now, I am just a free consultant for my landlord friends ha ha.Just today, I was walking by the dumpster outside that is under one of the old-fashioned garbage shoots, and of course, there is garbage all over the ground around it, because tenants just throw garbage into the shoot without bagging it first. 

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

We usually hang shower curtains, add throw rugs, hangers and gift bags with tissue paper, a plant and door mat at the front door and lots of air fresheners.

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.

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. 

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

One roll of paper towels on the kitchen counter with one garbage bag.  12 pack of bottled water in the fridge.I think of it as providing the kind of little life necessities that most people don't think of until they need it NOW!
