Especially I find it a little sickening to suggest that you can abuse them because there is little risk they will challenge you.The right thing is usually obvious, but we muddy the waters by overthinking.

They are just abusing you.

I have found that tenants do not abuse having access to your cell phone number.

Before we agree to working with inherited tenants, we mainly screen for criminal and sexual crimes to help insure everyone's safety.  

They are not a protected class.Here are your protected classes per federal law:The FHA, to date, includes seven protected classes: race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, and familial status.http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/the-fair-ho...Colorado's list of protected classes is:Protected classes in housing include: Race, Color, Religion, Creed, National Origin/Ancestry, Sex, Disability/Handicap, Sexual Orientation (including Transgender Status), Marital Status, and Familial Status (children under the age of 18 in the household).https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/dora/civil-rights... 

Just by making the distinction, tenants will be more mindful of usage, but you have to couple that with screening them well to make sure you get someone who's courteous enough to not abuse what they're given.  

The wave of abuse by the Tenants this last two years has become intolerable for me.

No vacancy...doesn't matter if it's a month to month lease, or if the lease is midway into a year commitment.What you want is your unit occupied, What happens in peoples lives is job changes, relationship changes, and housing plays a big part.I managed a large complex, we had roommate situations all the time fall apart for residents, divorce, splits, domestic abuse (any kind relationships not just married couples).

They are 100% illegal in the state of WI since we require specific language for domestic abuse among other things, without the required language here might as well do a verbal month to month.

The industry of home repair battles with high incidence of drug use and abuse.
