It seems to be such a no brainer,  but yet once I had a group of three show up,  a couple and some friend,  and the friend was so drunk he tripped and fell and knocked over a bunch of the current tenant's belongings.   

Have you checked the breaker to see if it's tripped?

This helps prevent all of those one-off trips to the property to show it.

Do your tenants trip circuits when running multiple fixtures?

What is the tenant supposed to do if a breaker trips?

@Oscar Flores - I am jumping on the @John Warren and @Craig Curelop bus. 

I don't know what to say to your specific property, but in handling these two for myself, I had to make many trips to the permitting and inspections offices.

If they intend to charge you a trip charge every time they visit the property, that should be disclosed.

Most likely the state where the property is located is where lawsuits would be brought if they are something for personal injury like a trip and fall or something of that nature because the “cause of action” arose in that state.
