Most people don't move into a residential area expecting to encounter a high traffic volume. That's what commercial areas are for. My lease states that tenants may not operate a business which violates local zoning rules or brings a high number of people & cars to the neighborhood. That means no Amway parties on a regular basis, no hair cutting in your livingroom, no babysitting/daycare services, no selling products from the house, etc. Allowed businesses are any home-based business which has minimal personal interaction with clients at the rental, such as attorney, CPA, online selling/shipping (NOT coming to the house to "view" or pick up items. If your tenants are operating this "business" to the degree that the traffic & visitors are disturbing the neighborhood, code enforcement will be on it in no time and the homeowner will encur a fee. Tell your tenants to rent a storage locker and move their "inventory" there for folks to view.

I agree 100% and will enforce that aspect but I don't think it is enough for me to accuse them of drug dealing. So if it doesnt stop they have been warned. We are in a residential area but my house is on a corner and on a thoroughfare, it is a main street that people cut through and stop often. I have room for about 6 cars on the street since I have front and side paths. It is a pita to shovel when it snows!
