A criminal doesn’t care about a no gun policy.  99% of (legal) gun owners are responsible and don’t carelessly display their gun or use it to commit crimes. 

However, with that being said with the situation of the windows it’s a behavior although there are several indirect ways to address!

I suspect the behavior has been that way since they were children and were never taught any different.

Monitor each tenants and their behaviors and see if you receive complaints and about any the tenant from the other tenants take heed and that will guide your decide with who you will have to get rid of.

In other words, property managers are preying on  And take advantage of the ignorance of the owners. people on this forum try to help them to avoid this somewhat unscrupulous behavior that steal so much of their profit posted by @Steven Andrews:@Ken Latchers hence this thread...

It's also very UN-common for them to actually file those lawsuits--primarily because it's difficult and expensive to do this, and most of the time, the money and time they'd spend filing a lawsuit is more than the lawsuit would be worth if they won (and they often have no chance of winning).Having said that, its also common for NON-deadbeat tenants to threaten lawsuits against deadbeat landlords--in which case, the tenant may actually follow through and file and win a lawsuit (depending on how bad the landlord was about violating relevant laws/regulations).Assuming that your communications with the tenant about late rent have always been professional, and follow any relevant local/state laws and regulations about landlord behavior, then it's very doubtful that repeatedly asking a tenant to pay their late rent could be considered "harassment" (I'm not a lawyer, though--so you'll want to do your own research and not take my word as the absolute truth).

Thanks for the feedback thusfar.Just as a bit of information, between her and her husband they make about $65K per year, so it is clearly not a case of not being able to afford $600 a month.I guess I really threw up a red herring with some of this information;  what I'm really wondering if this is acceptable behavior for a tenant? 

The act of showing appreciation neither encourages or discourages a person to change their behavior unless the person wants to change something they are doing on their own accord. 

The result can be that if you get one bad tenant in a unit their behavior can run off the three good tenants that reside in the other units.
