sure sounds like a tenant from hell. but here are a few things to think about. number 1, they are not your tenants any more, so the court will not look favorable upon them. 2nd, read my profile, i am a home inspector here in new york, with mold remediation as a specialty. there are 18 different types of black mold, and ONLY 2 OF THEM ARE TOXIC. so, your chances of having the toxic variety is slim. 3rd, you have to have either very large quanities of black mold and have it be the toxic kind to make it harmful to people, i. e., airborn. 4th, if these tenants are sick from black mold, then why did you have to go thru court to get them out??

His tenants are most likely your garden variety arrogant and overly entitled tenants.

But many people choose to break best practices for a variety of reasons.

that garage is an eye sore. need to tone that down. do this:add shutters to the front window, match that color with the garage and front door paint. it needs one mature plant, ideally, something with color (blue evergreen garden variety (dwarf size). nice buy. ideally, garage door could be made to look like a wood stain, and shutters match.

The cost savings from preventing this alone will almost always pay for meters.Ryan:I am familiar with sub-metering in a variety of contexts - and have written/developed monitoring/control systems for remote management of meters.
