It doesn’t sound like you’re looking to rent out SFH style-to one tenant/group, to where the rooms aren’t split and they would then be solely responsible for electric consumption.

We had one tenant who we evicted as soon as we could as they weren't paying the rent and refused to talk to us...and yes they were getting benefits and decided to spend it on take out and alcohol instead of groceries and rent. 

A big one for us in the bigger multifamily space is cutting water consumption.

It avoids fights/challenges over the water allocation and we actually saw water consumption drop by 30% once it was installed.

I found this article with some other good ideas, too: https://www.apartments.com/ren...Some of the things I found interesting in there:- A few bathroom items so they don't have to run out and get them- Command Strip hooks so they can decorate without destroying the walls (especially important for me since my units are plaster, heh)- Furniture Felt Pads so they don't accidentally scratch the floorsInterestingly, the author of the article cautions against alcohol.

Today I reviewed the water bill website and to my surprise there was water consumption.

.#1 Verify that no illegal activity is taking place.The most common illegal activity in rental properties is the consumption of illicit drugs.

They will just give a newer feel to the home and help with energy consumption.  

I am not lawyer... but I just gave "CAL CIV Code 1714" and it sure seems to talk about the rights of people who serve alcohol at events... nothing to do with landlords providing security. 

It is always a lot of work to be in regulated businesses (like alcohol) and food businesses (with food safety rules).
