In the future, bake the French Fries in the oven - as you now know, cooking grease causes fires. 

It's amazing how many people use metal utensils on a nice new nonstick cooking surface....or cut things directly on countertops rather than use a cutting board.

You may be able to put limits on the total number of humans allowed in the unit, credit scores above X for each adult, no rude people, people who smell like alcohol at 10AM, smokers, leather-wearers, vegans, etc.  

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).

I've never encountered a smoker who didn't smell like smoke at a showing, who passed my other criteria, and then showed up on move-in day smelling like smoke. 

that is a preference thing, personally I dont mind, but we dont have carpet in our properties, well 1 of 8 does, we charge a little higher rent to off set the pets, yea they can do damage, but so can dogs, and smokers, and dirty people, its all part of the game, you will open up a huge number of potential renters if you allow animals. just my opinion

But first the background:- Acquired 3 Flat Building in Cook County  Feb 2016- Inherited Section 8 Tenant with lease expiration June 30, 2016- Rents are deposited via Direct Deposit by the Housing Authority of Cook County- Rent is well below market, I'd say by ~$500 / month - Provided 90 day notice to tenant that I would not be renewing lease- Tenant acknowledged and agreed to look for new apartment- 2 weeks ago, tenant said they haven't found a new apartment yet and requested to stay longer. 

Tell me about your solutions that are midway between full on property management and being chief cook and bottle washer for your tenants every whim?

Pot smokers, partiers, people fighting/screaming/throwing things at each other, dogs that bark and howl all day and whine all night, unsupervised teenagers lighting backyard bonfires in the bbq grill while mom away at work, etc.
