Besides looking great and selling the rental, they're way more durable than the preformed laminate on pressboard, the tiles are easily repairable or replaceable if a tenant does manage to damage a tile(hasn't happened yet but the family has chipped the granite slab in my own kitchen), they're cheap at ~$5 sq ft for the granite, and finally not too hard to build for the handy with a tile saw (I did my first with a real cheapie) and a set of diamond polishing disks off Ebay for the exposed edges.

We have been working reminding the police on a regular basis to patrol our area more, and have installed a Simplisafe alarm system. 

We don't trust our police, don't trust our state legislators, don't trust our president, don't trust our school board, many don't trust our mayor. 

A simple call to the local police department and the cops will show up, give them a few minutes to gather what they can & they will then force them to leave.Even though I was legally entitled to do so, I didn't feel right about doing that to people out-of-the-blue, so I offered them the ability to stay for an additional two weeks and to assist in the transition, a cash payment of $1,000 (like a cash-for-keys transaction) to help them along and respect the property.  

I have a W2 job as a Seattle Police lieutenant.

Hi,Has anyone been busted by the sign police for using a local ph number from the provider VOIP.MS?

Managing a house in the college area from afar plan on parties and police calls.Im very local and have a few houses in that area myself, feel free to reach out.

I think, like with police, stating some group are ALL some pejorative is ill-informed, at best.If you do NOT know what you're doing, then a PM can save you a lot of time and pain. 

If your lease had this limitation in it, then you would simply police the number of people living in the house.
