You have let this tenant take control of the arrangement. They can smell weakness in landlords and its a game to them to see how high you jump when they say jump.

First you must enforce your lease. Were there boundries set in the lease as far as communication? Review your lease and start enforcing it by the letter.

If it is determined that the tenant has caused maintenance issues you need to charge them with a bill. Count it as part of rent and if it is not paid it is equivalent to not paying rent.

You may be out of luck as far as this tenancy is concerned but after you non-renew you need to get with a landlor/tenant type attorney and get you an ironclad lease that gives you control.

Good Luck!

My leases say tenant is responsible for plumbing blockages unless there is a main line fault.
