Now I don’t,  but you know what there’s been times where I swept the house because it was faster to sweep it then it was to call somebody to and I was already there. 

I put right in the lease that the tenant is responsible for cleaning out the ashes and having a yearly chimney sweep cleaning.

You could charge them for the cleaning of the appliances and mopping and sweeping and stuff. 

Arrange everything and make it look like you cared, sweep the leaves out.

It's tied to a zero balance sweep checking account, so all of my deposits and idle funds sit on my balance and save me interest cost. 

I take it you did not spec the job out in writing and may have just said, re-tile my bathroom and etc... leaving a lot open to interpretation by the workman.I take it you did not inspect the work on a regular basis as it was being completed.Tile over tile is sometimes done--but in this instance, the installer is obviously not well enough skilled to pull it off.And the black grouting looks like the worst grouting job I've ever seen.You can rent a jackhammer from many Home Depots, and bring that wall down to scratch plaster, or whatever is behind it.A cup of coffee and a Saturday morning would probably get it done, then it's just a sweep up job.There are companies that specialize in redoing bathrooms, they will have pics of their work and if you pick an established one with a good track record, the workers they send over might do a good job.With the water lines going out and back into the building, and the electrical switch (non-code complaint outlet as no little doors over the holes, and wiring appears to be outside a metal (non-UL looking) (possibly homemade) surface box and plastered over).

Sweeping is usually around $15 per space.

He has called the police several times to sweep the apartment and fortunately, they took him to the hospital yesterday.Both of his housemates are out of town and I live on site, so I know there isn't any truth to what he is claiming.This tenant has been here for 8 years, loves the place, pays rent early, and takes great care of his unit.

Chimney looks to have had a choppy job done at some point and needs to be re-pointed, chimney sweep, and liner added as suggested by the inspector.3.

Open and airy living with natural light sweeping throughout this updated charmer.
