They can, however, still require the property to be cleaned to a professional standard but cannot mandate that tenants use a professional cleaning service.

Photography advice for beginners

The following is a scan, then transcription, of Frank Renauts photography advice for beginners. Likely written in the early 1980s, some of it is dated but most of it is not.

Frank Renauts Advice for Beginners. If you think you are a good Photographer NOW, dont read it.

All the following suggestions may be ignored at your pleasure when you are quite sure you are competent.

Always use the same camera.
Always use the same black and white or colour film.
Dont buy an extra lens. And even more, dont buy more than one!
Make sure the camera is ready to use before you press the button, by conscientously going through the copilot check.
When you are looking through the viewfinder, forget your subject for a moment, and see what else is showing. You wont like that tree growing out of her head later. Or that empty coke bottle lying on the ground. Or anything that is glaringly bright and attracting unintended attention.
Lines in the picture all tend to have an effect on the viewer. Here are some generalizations about dominant lines.
1. Horizontal lines are peaceful.
2. Vertical lines are majestic.
3. Diagonal lines are dynamic.
4. S-curves are restful.
If your picture has a subject, and most do, then arrange to have that subject in the part of the scene where it will look most comfortable.
If the subject is a person, have her/him look into THE PICTURE, NOT into the camera. Even though your friend is the object of interest she will be more interesting if she seems to be a part of the scene, and not someone STANDING IN FRONT OF IT, hiding it from people who might think that what was behind her would be better presented if she got out of the way. Im thinking in terms of vacations and travel, at the moment. When your friend is the ONLY thing in the picture that matters, then just make sure the background does not distract.
No matter how good YOU are, some people are easier to photograph than others. Unless you are absolutely stuck with your mother-in-law as a subject, try to get someone who LIKES having pictures taken.
Make sure the horizon, if it shows, is HORIZONTAL.
Dont put it half-way up the picture.
Regardless of what you may have heard, roads can lead up to a subject in an interesting way.
Framing the subject is a useful device. This means wrapping it in something more solid than sky.
When using black and white film outdoors, keep a yellow filter in front of the lens. It will darken the sky, and, whether there are clouds or not, this usually improves the picture.
If you are photographing something which is moving fast, keep the camera following it while you press the button. You will be more likely to get the subject sharp and the background blurred in this way and most people prefer this arrangement to its opposite.
Light meters are nice, but not essential. If you follow the directions on the little bit of paper that comes in the film package, you will get surprisingly good results most of the time.
Do not become involved with building a dolls house.
Although it shouldnt be that way, pictures of attractive people are usually more successful than those of others. So pick your subjects, if you can. Ask anybody you see if you may photograph them, if you think they are suitable material. Nobody who is asked will hit you, and most will aquiesce.
Take your pictures to satisfy YOU. Noone else matters. If you stop to think whether or not this will appeal to some future JUDGE, you will find your hobby to have become WORK rather than enjoyment.
Avoid cameras that take square pictures. Nobody ever PRINTS square pictures. Nobody wants to look at square pictures. Cameras that take square pictures are for people who cannot be bothered to turn a camera on end. 35mm cameras are adequate for all beginners. If, later, yoube feel a need to make enlargements that are 3 feet by 5 feet, perhaps you will be justified in buying a larger camera. But not a SQUARE one. They dont fit into that good old Grecian Formula.

To summarize as you look into that viewfinder, think:

What I see here is what the picture is going to look like when it is printed or projected. Is there anything in it I dont want Is it tilted Should I be any closer Is the person squinting Are there wires across it Do I really want to frame this and hang it on the wall across from where I usually sit Am I doing this for ME or for a judge (Why should I do a judge any favors)

Film gets more expensive all the time, so be careful with it. But, it is still cheaper than your travelling expenses on most occasions, so it is better to use a little extra film than to make the trip again. (Well, maybe not better, but certainly cheaper)

Check your camera at times, between loads. While it is empty, make sure the shutter is working, and the diaphragm is closing down to chosen aperture. After loading, make sure the film is being transported by checking the rotation of the winder at the cartridge end. If your camera has an internal light meter, make sure that you have correctly set the film speed. If you are using anything but a single lens reflex, make sure you have taken off the lens cap. The viewfinder will let YOU see the picture, but it wont help the FILM in any way.

You think you cant make these mistakes. Ive made them all. There is no mistake that can be made with a camera that I havent tried. So it could happen to you.

The First Podcast Episode Is Always The Toughest: These are my tips.

(please excuse me for being stressed because I am very stressed)
how can there be sixteen hours in a day for me to get shit done but I can either never or just by the skin of my fucking teeth get shit done before the day ends and I have to sleep. there's SIXTEEN HOURS that's like nine hundred and sixty minutes. HOW DO I STRUGGLE TO GET EVERYTHING DONE WHEN THERES THAT MUCH TIME I feel stupid and lazy for not being able to get everything that needs to be done in the day done. there's almost always SOMETHING that gets put off to tomorrow. and I hate having to use the excuse of "I don't have time" because it makes me feel like I'm a cop-out. cause if I "dont have time" then I'm supposed to "make time" but how the fuck do i make time I already dont have enough time and there's hardly a second during the day when I'm not doing SOMETHING. the only time would be within the eight hours for sleep. but even then I'm still thinking about all the stuff I couldn't get done today and how I'm going to fit it into tomorrow's itinerary. I get ONE day a week to just be able to breathe and take a break and try to catch up on what I can while still relaxing, but its not really even a break day then. and I also have lessons on that day. so the ONE DAY that I have a week that all I want to do is just breathe for a second, have time for a relaxing walk instead of a rushed one, and read, and do whatever else I wanted to. why can't I even have that what am I doing wrong how do I fix it how do I "make more time" because I need more. I'm so. fucking. stressed.
