Food was more valuable a currency then the currency itself.

Fast food or fine dining?

Dishwashers get clogged because people aren't scraping/rinsing dishes and the food builds up in the filter. 

I have noticed though,  that it is mostly smaller counties where the charges are missing off of the background checks so maybe that is a contributing factor as well, the smaller counties may not have access to the resources that larger counties do that would allow them the infrastructure to report more accurately to national databases. just food for thought on that front though.

Food for thought.Hope that makes sense. 

Words/food for thought.

So besides the food, you are also adding a lot more grease from that food.

So, if there ever is moisture it won't ruin the material or be a food source for mold growth.

As mentioned before, the risks of tenants moving their own appliances, causing damage, getting injured in the process, or improperly installing (think gas range leak) is another liability to worry about.You can easily buy low to mid end set of appliances gently used or new at a outlet type store for less than a months rent, which would have likely prevented or shortened your vacancy time in this case and thus payed for itself.

So now you pay for their food, yep food, child care, yep, that is not a new cost, but now the landlord gets to pay it,  etc. on and on.
