You just really don't want someone else telling you what kind of plant you can put on your porch when you're the owner, or choosing some god-awful color of paint for your building, on and on and on.I'll add another one - be sure and look at the property taxes. 

I'm going to assume your insurance is higher for having each pool.If you don't want tenants and their friends or locals gathering in a new park area, then just plant a bunch of cacti in there, close together, so nobody will want to hang out there. 

The plants are oily.

They lay mulch, plant plants, and take pride in the home.

Plant a few in front of the opening.

The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago.

But we upstate New Yorkers are a resilient people.

I would plant some appropriate trees at the back of the property and do a french drain 

They're noise nazis or plants on the balcony nazis or anti-rental nazis.I owned one for about 3 years and made a profit, but couldn't WAIT to get out from under the HOA, and yes, I even got on the board to try and add some experience/sanity to it, but it was a losing, insane battle. 

So you inherited a tenant that sounds like they were never really qualified in the first place to rent the unit for the amount of their lease and in the end getting rid of them is costing you $200 and a tree you didn't pay to plant in the first place?
