I think that if a student knows that their parents will get the brunt of their irresponsible behavior, they may be more likely to think twice about their actions. 

I understand, technology can condition human behavior, look at me, I'm a BP addict and there are no meeting I can go to!

We have witnessed none of this behavior.  

Everyone is buying the low-flow flush toilets now as a landlord to save on water.If the tenant pays water separately metered then you can leave the old ones in that use more.Some issues with the water saver toilets is that tenants hate them.They have to flush multiple times sometimes.I have found the key with toilets is to not buy the most expensive and not buy the least expensive.I do not like the floating ball valve assemblies.They can get stuck and keep the water running versus the newer kits.Also look for a toilet with a larger throat opening that goes into the sewer pipe.This will keep blockages from happening as that is where things get stuck the most before hitting the sewer line.Also pay special attention when you look at a model of a toilet on the display feel INSIDE of the toilet bowl when purchasing.Some manufacturers gloss coat the outside of the toilet but then use matte coating on the inside of the bowl.You want it nice and smooth on the inside of the bowl.This helps waste and paper slide down the bowl and through the throat into the sewer line without sticking.You can also stipulate in the lease that only toilet paper is to be put in the toilet.Anything else found with a blockage the tenant will be responsible for the repair and the damage.You can even have them sign an acknowledgement form on move in.

This was frustrating, and while there's the possibility someone did it on accident, it seems very suspicious.I imagine there are probably no consequences for unethical behavior like this.

Adam,Try using the realtor.com app or website it is updated way more often and displays more useful information if u really want the low-down though to get the best info you are going to need to find away to the mls FYI I have seen a few flips done on these listings but alot of the time people try to aquire unlisted houses which they usually get better deals on but are way harder to find without a solid wholesaler or a good friend that's experienced in investing

That should not happen and if agents really want to raise the bar, then they will not stand for such behavior.

(im french sorry if my terms are wrong)Most of the time when i first call an agent i always ask for the rent rolls Tenants behavior (pay rent on time) for the last 2 years any big major repairs, capex, property management, inspection and regulation, i may be wrong one of my big worries is the foundation i'm obsess with that if there is any repairs i normally run away (maybe i'm wrong).

I tried to search the forum, and it says there are results, but none are displayed.  

We certainly could have stopped this behavior years ago simply by being more diligent.Cliff notes:Bought a condo at the peak of the crazinessRealized condo was worth half of what was owedLet the condo go back to bank“Rebuilt” credit over the next few years, checking 2 of the big 3 agencies regularly and tracking FICO scoresDid not check experian along the way, all the while the first lienholder, who had foreclosed and took title of the property continues to report to experian that the mortgage is active and now over 4 years delinquent.Bummed
