I'm not so sure on the drains; the baffle tees have a dedicated path for each

Make sure tenant is properly advised and instructed on its operation and
leave it in place. If it clogs again and becomes an on-going problem remove

We don't have one (septic system) and I don't really miss it. We just
dump the scraps in the trash, it's actually faster and easier than
feeding them into the disposer, also saves a bit of water.

I own rental properties as well and I have removed the GDs as they keep getting

I was just in a rental in San Francisco, and it had a GD(insinkerator
brand), one would think SF would be the first to "ban" a GD...
I think what happened is the tennants didn't run the water while grinding,
so it sludged up instead of dispearsing.
Just my 2 cents,
