For those of you who landlord in borderline areas or worse, what's your rule of thumb on when to put security metal over your windows and doors?

Obviously none of they knew of the fire or looked at the property in the last few days.At tax sale I have seen people have bought:US Army bombing rangeExpired lease on propertyhouse with 3 walls, 4th wall missingsliver of land 2 feet wide50 foot cliff, access by helicopter onlyland at bottom of man made lake (literally underwater property)wetlandsflood plainsunbuildable propertyfailed perk testhistoric dig site, can't disturbproperty with no road frontagecondemned propertyproperty already scheduled for demolition soonformer gas station with leaking gas and oil tanks undergrounddry cleaning plant with toxic wasteSuper fund sitechromium factory with tanks and barrels of an unknown liquiddistillery with full barrells (ATF and state government was very interested and wanted to seize and destroy those barrells)Bigger Pockets Podcast #82 

The current fence is a metal fence, it actually has been bent a little because of the roots and normal wear and tear (they have three big dogs), I suggested cutting off the roots, they said we plan on staying here a while, so it will just ruin our new fence in a few years, I said thats a long few year LOL, But yeah, I wanted to know who's liable, everything I read says whoever's side its on..The other thing is I want to make sure not to damage the tree(not really too worried about this) not trying to have it fall over on our house or theirs 

You have some accountability in the creation of this toxic relationship as well.

I have gotten tons of good hand tools but anything power seems to go onto my metal pile for scrap.

Some feel it is too toxic, but if you sprinkle it where pets and kids can't get to it, like inside walls, the roaches don't become immune like they do to other pesticides.

If flange is metal and is rusty or a painted steel with paint peeling, replace it.2.

And those contractors often are as dumb as the tenants, what he told you is more than likely because the solution wasn't obvious (I saw a probably in there). co leaks out of the exhaust of the furnace, through the chimney. make sure the flu is metal taped and sealed, the chimney is sealed......maybe its your gas hot water heater??....
