I believe it's far worse to have an empty 30 inch opening in the cabinets.

Unfortunately, the only other option is to keep allowing them to drill 1/4 inch holes into the studs.

Tenants, give em an inch and they take a mailbox, haha!

That one side will have to go up at least 4 inches to be level with everything else and it might mean tearing out the bathroom and redoing the whole furnace and everything from what a contractor was saying.

Yeah the situation is one corner of the back of the property has a depression on the cement where it meets the house and as a result this corner falls 4 inches below the base flood elevation, requiring Flood insurance to the tune of about 2,500 a year.

Building codes stipulate 30 inches or so for a toilet.

A box of three inch screws and a box of duplex nails.

We have some larger tenants as well in our units.They will use the stair rail more of a prop when coming down the stairs and a push off when coming up.Most people do not apply full weight like that on the stairs but use the rail as a guide only with light pressure.What we did for that tenant instead of wall anchors we used 3 inch steel forged screws and drove into the studs.

Okay the 4 unit buildings when built in 1981 have one meter going in.There is no sub meters.Fulton county water stated that is what the builder requested in 1981.Fast forward to today.Fulton county does not do sub metering for these buildings.The water company stated these buildings only have a 3/4 line meter on one and 1 inch line meter on the others.Water bill has been high.We fixed a bunch of leaks and filed leak adjustments to Fulton county.Water company says they can test meter to make sure it reads right.Previous owner had high readings as well.Some tenants are only supposed to have 2 to 4 people living there on lease.End up having 8 to 10 people and they use the water constantly even with no leaks.Currently we provide water,sewer,trash into the total rent.We have to do it this way because with one line if the 3 tenants pay the bill but one does not the water company will cut off water to the whole building and lien it.Since it is one line into the building even if all leaks are fixed I can't go up to a tenant without proof they are using more water.I can tell tenant with an adjusted lease they are responsible for any usage after 50 bucks a month but they might not pay the difference.My plumber told me of a company that will install individual meters and then bill the tenants directly.Have any of you had experience with these companies?

I have found infestations by observing only a quarter inch mud tube (all that was visible at that house).Now my advice: Make any purchase contingent on a wood destroying insect inspection and hire a professional and accompany him/her during the inspection.
