You'll have to excuse any misuse of terminology, I am still quite fresh.

They certainly CAN be problematic, especially a disposer, but if you provide clear, written, instructions on basic operation, AND make sure the tenant knows they will be responsible for the cost of service calls caused by misuse, your problems will be minimal.

you nearly eliminate the chance of the tenant deciding to misuse it.

Do NOT stop making repairs, but IF it can be attributed to tenant damage, abuse, or misuse, then BILL them, and tack on late charges as allowed by the aforementioned documents when they don't pay.

They do all repairs They pay half of the repairsYou pay for all repairsI'm wondering because if you pay for everything they might misuse it.

The local assessor is too valuable a resource to spoil the relationship over the misuse of data.

I think it would help to clarify because the term gets misused a lot and it's not widely understood.

Unfortunately, there was a member who misused and mistreated the forum rules in that thread, so it was shut down by the administartor and all the good information and posts by others is now unavailable.

Sorry if I mis-use any terminology -- real estate is clearly not my area of expertise :)
