the entry was filled with steel wool by the exterminator, and I caulked all the cracks and put on the fireplace in the summer time to try to smoke them dead.

This is especially true if there is mold caused by a leak upstairs or a unit on the other side of the wall.The close proximity of neighbors - When neighbors cause problems, your tenants will complain about noise, cigarette smoke seeping through their unit, etc.

However, it is still all about supply and demand.
