Turned out there were thrilled to have me and my building as a resource for their students (we were within walking distance of the law school), because they were always short of student housing for law students. 

(I have had tenants turn the AC off when they move out or the heat in winter)- We require they have someone check on the property if they leave it for more than 5 days (This is to make sure there are no water leaks or HVAC issues that lead to problems while they are gone)- No businesses can be run from the property (to prevent day care, laundry services, gambling, drugs or who knows what)- We specify yard care includes week spraying and cleaning up sticks less than 1" in diameter (otherwise tenants think yard care is mowing only)- We state that tenants utilities can be used for routine maintenance or repairs (I once had a tenant complain the roofers were using his power for their compressors)- We have a whole section on mold stating that mold is naturally occurring and results from excess moisture.

When I had some Class D rentals I was thrilled if they didn't flush concrete down the toilet and steal the HVAC unit.   

With the appreciation you are actually gambling that the market won't take a turn for the worse.

Or go to the local casinos, if you just want to gamble your money away.Think.  

Your tenant gambled that you would let them break the terms of the lease.  

You have to do the math regarding what it's worth to keep a known hassle-free tenant vs gambling on a new one.  

And maybe some tenants who can't find the type of unit you are offering in that particular area, so they're willing to gamble you'll get the work done on time, and that it will be done right.But, even then, I think you'll be renting to people who will be coming into the rental with an eye that is looking for problems and things to complain about.  

PS> I have a 2014 BMW S1000RR Look it up/ If a tenant ever left any type of motor vehicle I'd be thrilled! 

But, they spend a great deal of it gambling at the local casino or on cigarettes or going out to the local bars or restaurants, etc., and they can't afford a car because of it, and are always looking for a handout.Then, there are those like me and many of my neighbors, who don't smoke, or go gambling or go out drinking or to restaurants, and always pay their rent on time, and have savings accounts,  and wouldn't dream of asking for a break.It's not just because a tenant can't afford to - or doesn't want to - own their own home, that a tenant ends up in a position to ask you to put up with them getting behind on rent.
