A few months ago around Christmas time we were doing a bathroom remodel for a new homeowner on a house that was flipped, the master bathroom was a disaster, there isn't enough space to go into all the things wrong, so I'll just tell you about the bathtub - jetted tub they bought from Home Depot, so it was a de-engineered Jacuzzi model, low horsepower pump, less jets than the non Home Depot version, but it looked new and shiney. 1) Tub wasn't sitting on the sub-floor, was suspended by it's rim, even it they had built the tub deck correctly to size based on everything else I sure they wouldn't have poured a mortar base for it to sit in.

Owning guns is a pain in the butt in CA, so I'm relatively light on the guns but have various bladed instruments staged about our home (that I own, obviously).The hoarding is the only thing you described that strikes me as unusual.This dude probably wants to do what is expected of him, which is not causing permanent damage to the property and pay his rent on time, in exchange for basically being left alone to quiet enjoyment of the unit.
