Apartment's in Turtle Bay neighborhood.. All staff know me as the owner as I lived in the apartment from '03-08.. From 2009 - now I've been living Downtown, and I dont go to rented apartment except when tenant needs something.. always shoot the shit with staff when I stop by.. Last year (fully rented) I tipped the same as if I lived there the whole year, my friends all laughed.. what's norm for tipping 12 months rented out or is that tenant's problem?
title should read "RENTED OUT" apartment to avoid confusion
Hol,
we encouraged our tenant to tip, as she's in residence now, and we scaled back our tips, since we're not, but we didn't eliminate them entirely.

Bump for the idiots starting new tipping threads
jason10006, have you met Rhino86? You and he would get along well.
Don't. You will just encourage the self-entitlement complex.
Save your tips for your waiters and bartenders.
Ditto.
Tips are for service people whose base pay is LESS than minimum wage.
Certainly not for staff employees with salaries, union health coverage, and union pensions.
Depends on what you need from staff. I know that my old LL (small doorman condo building) tipped the staff, but did it because of ongoing services (they held mail, cleaned out his apt between tenants, etc.).
