i don't know if your problem is related to your tenant, but NEVER flush litter down the toilet! i don't care *what* the bag of biodegradable litter says, it WILL jam up the plumbing. if they use clay litter or scoopable litter it's even worse. you really shouldn't have to forbid it, but since common sense tends to be lacking in most people, it would make sense to protect yourself & your property that you do put it into the tenant agreement. as a former tenant with 11 cats, 2 dogs & 3 rats, i applaud you for allowing pets. as a pet owner, i do understand that a landlord needs to protect his investment & adding special pet clauses is perfectly understandable. lee
