Tenant uses Double ply and i told him the first time NOT to throw TP and dispose in a garbage. 

And the garbage cans never move.

She left my whole place junked, ruined and filled with tons of crap furniture and rotting food and garbage.

@Lesley Resnick they are a bit aggressive, as one's should be when investing in an asset of such small scale where diversity doesn't dilute the effect of variability in expenses.100$ owner paid utilities on a 200k duplex is actually an optimistically low representation of sewer/water/garbage/mowing/snow removal (if pertinent).$2400 a year (in maint/repair/capex) is also a very fair representation.

Your only solution, if you can't stop this garbage, is to refuse to purchase investment properties in those areas. 

I don't want a collection of mid 70's garbage properties spread out across the huge city.

The goal of this is not for them to cover wear and tear issues on the house, but to get less things like broken garbage disposal or other issues that were tenant caused but hard to prove.2) Taxes- Are you taxing off everything you can from your taxes?
