You're not in the French Quarter, so you may not be able to be quite as uninhibited, but you'll see how a bit of bold color can a tremendous amount of personality and character to a tiny house.Let me know if you need any more suggestions.

I don't know about tenant/landlord laws in Connecticut, but you may want to take that into account too.The odds of your tenant fighting a small charge for the carpet--slim, but every dealing you have with a tenant builds a public image of you (not to mention speaks to your character).If the carpet is only a year old, then I, personally, would charge them replacement cost... any older than that, and it would be a depreciated replacement cost.The fact that you were going to replace the carpet (though it may speak to the carpets age) wouldn't directly have any influence in my decision to dock the security deposit.

Anyone use a different exterior door and shutter color scheme from one unit to the next in a multifamily building or complex...town house style...to provide some character and personal space feeling?  

Even though you aren't the one occupying the house, it is your credit and character 'guaranteeing' performance.  

Luckily for me, my Dad has always been a good example of hard work and the character it builds.

City of Portland is really encouraging people to build ADUs because it's an easy way to increase housing availability/density and maintain neighborhood character.

His character appears questionable at best.

If you are a good judge of character a face to face meeting with the management company to ask some basic questions as well as a drive through to check the maintenance standards of the community will help you make the final determination.

@Richard C.Being able to earn the title of "fidiciary" is important, with backround checks to be a cop, to carry a gun, be a real estate or insurance agent, being of good character, not having a felony record, all this is important.

There are definitely some shady characters in this industry.
