I think you need to slow up a little on your ideas about health and safety issues. I agree that flammable items should not be on the stove. And I also agree the yard should stay looking nice so neighbors don't complain. But if she just moved in , and has other problems in her life to deal with, 2-3 months of "boxes everywhere" inside, is, in my opinion, a reasonable time frame to get the place looking "normal". Heck, I've even seen a couple of tenants years ago, still living out of boxes 6-8 months after they moved in. Remember, nobody is going to live the way you think they ought to. Wait til after Halloween, and ask to do an inspection of the property then. Then, if need be, point out the fire and health hazards to her orally, not in a written notice to clean it up in a short time frame.

Good advice. My gut was telling me to lay back for a while. Glad to have a second opinion. Worst case, she lives out of her boxes and lease will not be renewed. Hopefully she will exhibit some responsibility and get the outside cleaned up and get settled. She can do what she want with her stuff inside. It IS frustrating to get sloppy tenants in a lovely home, but hopefully things will change.
