Tips for Landlords: 1. Do not install heavy wooden doors as sliding doors for your closets or as partition between rooms because they don't last long if you just hang the doors from the rails off the ceiling. Most landlords don't like to have tracks on the floor to support the weight of the doors. Heavy wood looks good but the tenant will want them changed due to malfunction. 2. On July 29, 2000, I just saw a beautiful The Claymore 3-bedroom with pinkish streak white Italian marble. Door knobs were white porcelain with blue flowers. Everything seem perfect. The American Tenant wanted it empty. We discover that the mirrors and headboards of the queen-sized beds in the master and 2 single beds in one bedroom were solidly glued to the wall! Luckily the expats were persuaded to retain these items, otherwise it will cost money to hack them off. December 2001.
