I only sent out reminders because I had a lot of law students who would have the rent check sitting on their dresser, but they were so exhausted that they'd just forget to put it in the drop slot (the owner I worked for was old school and wasn't interested in online options).It seems like the only reason you need to contact your tenants is to tell them how much they owe in utilities. 

I’ve exhausted all options.

Only when all of that is covered is the rest of that $75 applied to the profit.If in one month your tenant calls in and spends 15 min complaining with you later calling in later in the month and spending another 15 min on the phone the management company has exhausted more resources than $75 is going to cover, in other words a net loss on that property for the month. 

We were exhausted , ran the kids hard .

I think I've exhausted myself with all the reading I've been doing recently.

And that's how I'd present it to this guy - look, you look like a meltdown about to happen, or someone who couldn't withstand a melt-down.  

It may be likely you will need to move on if all of the counter offers have been exhausted.

I'd say research the potential pitfalls to find ways to avoid them going out of state, and exhaust your options in your neighborhood first.

Maybe more.Most people would be "reasonable" by hanging a line in the laundry room and drying clothes old-school when all reasonable efforts to replace the dryer and stay safe were exhausted during a global pandemic.

A key to this definitely screening tenants up front, exhaustively so.
