Anything that can be done automatically every month is something I put in my arsenal. 

Then tell her in a year you'll be willing to put in new floors at the end of the year as long as she is all paid up and has kept the apartment nice for the year.

Live and learn.)ANYHOO-  she sent us all an email a few days after the original signing of the lease a year or so ago that we didn't put any thing down under the section dealing with late fees; what did we want to put in there?

Also, if you are going to finish that basement -- put in the drain tile and an overhead sewer!
