Also, they have a medium sized dog that has aggression issues (was told this personally by the tenant) with no pet addendum or deposit.My questions for tenant two are as follows:3) Would you keep these tenants temporarily on a month-to-month lease until you were ready to update their dwelling (i.e., new appliances, flooring, bathroom updates and new windows) and raise it to market rents?

The option doesn't have to be cheap , but should be less labor intensiveCurrent Pic :Longer version :Bathroom : Great condition , well built , but outdated , needs cosmetic update to make it look modernProblem statement : Feel bad to rip off everything , found some options online , but I feel the demo videos from these companies don't tell the whole story , so was looking for things that BP members practically used and have feedback on.Ideas researched so far :Luxury tile like wall panels - so you can install the panel in one go rather than tilingTile over Tile - of course with some important considerations such as condition of existing tileReglazing bath tubPainting existing tiles and grouting Updating all the fixtures , cabinets with high end items

LInks and Info below: According to the Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 186 Section 22, A landlord may cause to be installed by a plumber licensed in the commonwealth, at the expense of such landlord, submetering equipment in the landlord’s building to measure the quantity of water provided for the exclusive use of each dwelling unit, provided that such equipment meets the standards of accuracy and testing of the American Water Works Association or a similar accredited association; and provided further, that a sub-meter is installed for each dwelling unit in the building and for the common areas of the building, so that all water used in a building is measured by both a primary meter and a sub-meter.The practice of utility billing for natural gas, trash and electricity is prohibited in the state of Massachusetts.

I have a relative who just installed the Ultra version, and I am thinking of doing the same, so here is what I have found in my research so far:  Trafficmaster Allure has the grip strip (adhesive strips built in), and the video on Home Depot's website under that particular product shows that you have to use a leveler for any grout lines greater than 1/4" as the planks are flexible and the grout lines (or other defects) will become visible over time.

Go to my YouTube channel if you want to see a video on how to do it online.

Everyday we communicate with photos, videos, text etc.

@Andy WilsonTake a look at YouTube video from Mark Kohler.  

If you have to enter and repair could you do a video in and a video out?
