Damage of this amount is usually reported on a police report, but odds are good the tenant didn't do that. 

He never told me about this and the only reason I know is he just filed a police report about it 2 weeks ago and the officer who wrote the report called me about it.

Although I think this is about like the Dodd-Frank and SAFE laws in that no one will ever be policing and enforcing them - I guess my tenant screening idea would be against the law in at least some states.

Unless you want the government to police more of the transactions investors get into, investors better help police their own backyard!

I recommend immediately notifying the police.

. $1000 system is cheaper than a couple turnovers, a kicked-in door, or a lawsuit from the woman assaulted in the laundry room.Talk with the police to see if they will help with a couple drive-bys each day.

I requested them file a police report, and I would look into my options.  

And some neighborhood groups organize volunteers to remove them.And the police can track you down and issue a ticket, but I don't know how zealous they are about that.

Downtown and Midtown are definitely improved, but there are neighborhoods that need police, fire, and lights.

You can probably expect more drinking, drugging and fighting also, and accompanying police calls and damage.
