We really care about green apartment living, and try to attract green-minded tenants with good insulation, energy star mechanicals, solar panels, and a tilled garden bed ($30 well spent!). 

They didn't always leave it really clean, and sometimes they piled a ton of junk by the dumpsters - but I figured that was better than having to evict and deal with worse, so I'd give them their deposit in cash and get the key and thank the stars above they were gone.

My 6 year old is a rock star.

The washer is working fine.I'd do absolutely nothing except to thank my lucky stars for this great tenant who is working and earning money and paying the rent on time, and washing things that could be just thrown all over the floor instead.Tenants are people who live lives and wash things in washing machines. 

If it's a nice, smooth no-hassles move-out, I and the owner I worked for thanked our lucky stars and let a few minor things go. 

Replacing rotten wood due to water damage is not.Thank your lucky stars you have a tenant who calls you when there is a problem.

Justify it be saying I'm increasing your rent buy a star buckets coffee a week :) 

contact Barry Carter at The Star-Ledger.

Every increase would stand to jack up that rent to income ratio still further - 43% and rising.So neither applicants are star tenants in my view.

Just looking for a good system that minimizes their time involved as they have a full-time W2 job.Right now, they're planning to provide the things you would find at a typical 4 star hotel - complementary coffee via Keurig and complementary breakfast (cereal and possibly eggs if the guests are willing to cook that themselves).
