Tidiness Contracts
From today's Telegraph:

Jas Gill agrees that a professional approach is all important. She lets two properties in London, two in Birmingham, with rents ranging from £380 a month up to £6,800. Jas doesn't just put her prospective tenants through the usual credit reference checks, and ask for personal guarantors (usually parents). She makes them sign a tidiness contract, too.
"However nice tenants seem at the start, I get them to agree to the house rules. No smoking, maybe no outdoor shoes, and regular cleaning," she adds.
"I make them sign each page of the contract. If they fall down on their side of the bargain, I have the paperwork, and I can come down on them like a ton of bricks.
Put me in a tutu, and call me a ballerina, but that doesn't sound very lawful to me, especially for an AST, and there's no background in the article...
Quiet enjoyment, anyone, without Mary Poppins looking over your shoulder?
Somebody needs to throw the ton of bricks back...
