(Had a young tenant who put gas in an ice cream plastic bucket with a lid to clean paint brushes!

Get a good thick pad so it feels soft.

I have 1 house thats been rented to a middle age woman , I was doing some clearing of brush and vines and I kept seeing this "stray" cat wandering around the house .

Coil elements are readily available and inexpensive.3) Tenants - ours anyways - do not appear to be able to clean these cooktops without resorting to highly abrasive substances (steel wool, wire brushes) which brings us back to item #2 above.While I prefer a smooth cook-top in my own home, I am happy to say we only have one left in our rentals {it came with the building}.

The floor isn't stable as the joists are soft.

You go to soft and give them leeway and you are done for.

I use send a soft reminder like.  

So far I have gone to two accountants and have felt shoed under the rug and brushed aside.

Ryan:You should be careful with that brush, lest you paint yourself the same as those you disparage.As @Luc Boiron posted above there are incentives in Ontario - one of only three provinces in Canada providing any significant incentives.  

I painted my contractor grade cabinets this past summer with a brush and a small roller.
