rental tender_square joanne said that when prospective tenants were going through her house, one took a shit in her toilet and another opened up the basement freezer and didn't close it properly, ruining all the contents. mary's kitchen sink was a little loose before; after a bunch of strangers showed themselves around her open house and fondled anything they could lay their hands on, the movement in the faucet became much more worrying. i want to leave a painting of a cactus in my entryway saying, "don't be a prick. please remove your shoes," a sort of prick-litmus test if you will, but i've been told this could be off-putting by some. i want a tenant to be comfortable here, but i also want them to treat my home as i do. what if they flush feminine hygiene products, or worse, "flushable" wipes, or worst, prophylactics and clog the pipes? what if they're a distracted cook and they cause a fire? what if they're like my younger sister and take thirty-minute showers when i'm footing the bill? the lease says no smoking and no pets. i don't want to be a harpy marching up the stairs at every annoyance, making a miserable experience for all involved. 230310 what's it to you? who go blather from
