I am not a big fan of dogs, but if someone blows me away, but has a dog, I let them know I will need to meet the dog beforehand.

It blows my mind how anti-business our government can be. 

The put it right outside her front door, with door open, moldy unit, wind blowing inside the house.  

That way you can still word it nicely but they know you mean business and you also have it on record that you didn't blow their request off.

@Kate Binion Consider if you can install some sort of landscaping that will catch the trash that blows over from neighboring properties.

And listening to representatives of free healthcare/free phones really blows my mind what is taught to low income areas.

Wait until this virus blows over, assess the market, raise the rent but only to the point where when they look for other comparable rentals, they will see that they're better off staying put.I do understand your thinking as far as asking the tenant.

The first vacancy, blown water heater, roof, or other normal event blows their "profit" for a long time to come.

I bought a patio set this weekend and dropped it off in the courtyard and they couldnt have been happier.. it was to cushion the blow to those who had thier rent practically doubled.. they are happy and thankful.. if they dont seem to use it i wont do it next year

And it lets her know that trying to avoid you won't work, nor has it won her any favors.I disagree that being nice is the way to proceed, when a tenant is blowing you off completely.
