She's been a fantastic tenant for the 9 months I've owned the property, but I agree with the other comments about keep tenants M2M if you just inherited them.Some small improvements that can be made that are low-cost and not disruptive to the tenants might be updated light fixtures, new mini blinds (they get pretty dusty after 19 years!)
