One of the tenants has two arrests for misdemeanors, including one for use or possession of drug paraphernalia.

Drug paraphernalia, sexual paraphernalia, clothes, food, feces, etc... are fairly common.

I've had two occasions where the reference they listed told me not to rent to them because they were violent, late payers, or too needy.Not doing a criminal, credit, background check, which might have revealed criminal or credit problemsBeing slow to evict (mentioned by others)Believing their sob storiesAccepting partial paymentsFailing to document every conversation or interactionNot walking through the property to make sure they're taking care of it (I now walk through every 9 months so I can see problems in different seasons)We've found crack pipes and other paraphernalia after they moved outWe've discovered piles and piles of trash (some bagged, some not) in closets, basements, sheds when trash cans and pickup service are included in their rent - all they had to do was carry it out, at no cost to themWe've Found smokers, pets, extra peopleOverall, I've had great success as a property investor. 

Judging by the grab bars and other paraphernalia, this likely happened when the last lady of the house grew to frail to navigate the grand staircase to the master suite on the second floor.  

We are also blessed with overt hard core drug use, people shooting up in broad daylight and paraphernalia left in the streets even among million dollar homes and of course we have our nationally known homelessness problem.  

Two months ago the police came with a battering ram, knocked down the door and hauled him off after finding $10,000 worth of drugs together with scales and other drug dealing paraphernalia.

I notified local law enforcement about what I had seen and they made several arrest at the property, including the tenants, and found drug paraphernalia on site.

I have had to paint my siding due to graffiti spray on it before and I routinely pick up baggies alcohol bottles and drug paraphernalia in the yard when I mow the grass .
