6. I think we need to tread lightly here.

Things like how it is extremely difficult to evict a hoarder for being a hoarder. The person is living in you property destroying it but you will have considerable issues evicting them. The last unit I had to redo was beyond all that is sane. My first pass on the stove top was with a putty knife. The refrigerator was full of rotten food and flies. The filth was unbelievable.
I am a liberal Democrat. However when a sick person is destroying your property I need better laws. Either the government intervenes in the sick persons life or I am allowed to evict quickly. This time we were at the end of a one year lease. I warned him and got more security and went to a month to month lease. I gave him a few months and told him I was ending the contract. I gave him two months to move. He waited until the last week to do anything.
I have decided I will only sign 6 month leases and require inspections. I will inform the tenants that if they are destroying my property I will not renew the contract. One year is to long. I have rented property for many years the majority of people are good folks.
