=========If they are seeing these guys (pic below), they are not rats, they are possums.They sleep in the trees and will go under houses to eat their favorite food--cockroaches (or cat food if they can find it).They roll up in a ball and play dead sometimes...but have sharp teeth, and are not a pet--just a part of San Antonio wildlife like a squirrel or the birds.The cats leave them alone and will share food with them.I've not known of any who burrowed into a house like a rat to get food--they eat bugs..Good Luck!

If it is hair, toys, food items, grease, paper products other than TP, YOU pay your plumber immediately, then send copy of invoice and letter requesting reimbursement per the terms of the Rental Agreement to the Tenant; Tenant pays you.

Thats probably because most of their cash was spent on cigarettes, delivered pizza, and other fast food cartons I see in their trash bins.Unreal!

I would be delighted to discuss this topic with you in greater detail!

That would be like you being liable for their food poisoning since you allow cooking in the home....I'd allow it and simply ensure they understand that on move out 1) the structure goes with them 2) any yard repair is at their expense. 

Food for thought.

She tells me she lost her job, they turned off her cable, maybe turning off electric soon, her boyfriends truck broke down so he had to drive her van to work, she pays 1000.00 a month in child support for a kid I had no idea she had, they can barely buy food, shes cashing in her IRA so 'Mays' rent should be on time.

Personally I like it because you never know if a guest has a food allergy or flower allergy. 

I know they make fire suppression systems for grease etc. as my friends dad does those for restaurants but the cost is prohibitive for rentals.The tenant obviously seems to have had gross negligence here having a child in a bath and food on a stove is a non starter.

Usually free food and free drinks.
