BrianNothing prevents tenant from running the water, kicking holes in walls and door, or other vandalism.However, these things seldom happen as retribution.More likely, a tenant fills up an inflatable pool every other day in the summer, or fails to report that the kitchen drain is leaking, or that the boyfriend beats her up every weekend and busting up the place, or that tenant lets a dog do his business on the carpet, or overflows the tub because they fell asleep.While a good tenant will agree to a fair water policy; the court will typically throw out the policy in an eviction.Keep in mind that you can get a leak notification from water department via “clear-reads” through the mycleveland water website.Usually bad tenants are multi-dimensional... they tend to follow a pattern... low credit score, extension criminal background hits such as driving with suspended license, expired plates, drugs, panning the rent late, refusing to pay the water, violating trash pickup guidelines, police calls by the neighbors, no-show for service calls, removing smoke retractor batteries for the kids toys, not replacing burned out lightbulbs, not taking care of the yard (in a single family”, busting blinds and screens, etc.

I've had a tough time filling a vacancy since September 1st after I had renovated the unit; I pulled up the carpet to put down vinyl flooring, re-painted, and added stainless steel appliances. 

Sometimes tenants will let friends come over and wash their trucks, some washing vehicles will illegally fill up large tankers for water off of your spigots, your tenants might let water run for hours for kids to play in the yard, etc.When tenants do not pay water they typically care less how much they use or if toilets run, sinks drip, bathtubs leak BUT if they pay the bill they almost always call the landlord for a single drip!

I would also ask them to fill out the same application I require of other applicants.
