I just saw documentary called Real Estate Wars: Inside the class and culture battle that's tearing San Francisco apart.

Cool, so I tear all of it out.

Normal wear and tear maintenance items are expenses.  

@Ryan Evans...The Clinic is a great idea...Traveling doctors, nurses, or patients would probably be less wear and tear!

So usually they do not have puppies or kittens tearing up all the units.

YOU will incur these extra costs of having extra people using those utilities and the wear and tear on your building.

We think the wear and tear on the apartment will be considerable.

I'm thinking that I'd want to bring in 5 gal water jugs and pour the water down various drains in the house.... since most foreclosures I'd be looking at would have water shut off, I don't see any other solution to check for this.2) If you purchase a house with concrete poured down a drain and the concrete has made it past the J bend in the trap, I assume you've got no choice but to tear out the pipes all the way until the pipes are free of concrete.

Thorough cleaning of the Rental Unit (as outlined in the Move-Out Agreement), so as to be in the same condition as on the commencement date of the term of the Lease, normal wear and tear excepted;5.

My students are tearing it up using the Ultimate Automated Lead Machine to bring in more leads than they can handle.
