I have had times in my life where I've been dead broke, and times where I've been flush.

Its like flushing money down the toilet!

(Examples of improper use include overloading electrical outlets; flushing large, foreign objects down the toilet; and allowing any gas, electrical, or plumbing fixture to become filthy.)• Dispose of trash and garbage in a clean and sanitary manner.• Not destroy, damage, or deface the premises, or allow anyone else to do so.• Not remove any part of the structure, dwelling unit, facilities, equipment, or appurtenances, or allow anyone else to do so.• Use the premises as a place to live, and use the rooms for their intended purposes.For example, the bedroom must be used as a bedroom, and not as a kitchen.94• Notify the landlord when dead bolt locks and window locks or security devices don’t operate properly.95However, a landlord may agree in writing to clean the rental unit and dispose of the trash.96If a tenant violates these requirements in some minor way, the landlord is still responsible for providing a habitable dwelling, and may be prosecuted for violating housing code standards.

It can be tough to swap out fixtures while residents are living there, but when a resident moves out, I'd recommend an ultra high-efficiency toilet(the Niagara Stealth at Home Depot uses only .8 gallons per flush, half as much as a standard toilet and about 38% less than what is considered a high-efficiency toilet.)

"Stuff" hardens when no one is flushing water regularly and this can cause a back up.  

Andrew M.I agree that certain areas are overheated, but I feel like that comes with the overall economy getting better - i.e. more people flush with cash, low unemployment rate, more opportunities for people to buy homes.

Happy to flush through a lot of these preliminary considerations if you'd like to chat!

I had a property manager who took a bad check and never even informed me until 2 months later after the fact of this problem with tenants who subsequently created an nusaince deliberately flushing rags and excess tampons down the drain, complaining about mold, refusing to let in the plummer, threatening my manager etc...

Its gotta be hard, all that pops in my mind are the problems: My Heat/Air don't work, My toilet wont flush, the basement is flooding, and the way life goes, they will call you 10minutes before you start work.

so i have a section 8 tenant in one of my rentals. she is a good tenant. about a month after she moved in we had the plumbers come out and roto rooter the main line leaving the house. i didnt mind. the cause for this instance could have been anyones, not to mention it hadnt been cleaned out in a few years. no biggie. 5 months later i needed to call out the plumber again. this time the main cause of the plug was someone was flushing down those sanitary wipes, which are not biodegradable. this is purely the tenants fault obviously. bill totalled $300+. she has no way of paying this as she stated. housing authority has her locked in for 2 years from begining of the rental contract. i dont necessarily wanna give her the boot, but this is a business. my real question is: she wants me to take it out of her deposit, then she claims she will replenish the deposit once tax time comes around, around feb- march 2013. is this legal for me to do?
