So A few items running through my head.

Apartment complex we just acquired.Landlord left over a hundred key snot labeled.

1.I was thinking is it possible for a locksmith to make a master key that opens ALL doors??I would imagine not as they are different lock sets replaced over time.

2.In the lease there are no pets listed but many tenants have pets.The tenants said they would pay a fee to keep the pets.So Instead of a security deposit I was thinking of a one time "pet acceptance fee".

This way instead of a security deposit having to be escrowed in a separate account the money can be spent right away to increase cash flow.

3.I was thinking to prevent toilet clogs the tenants should put those child safety toilet hinges on top of the lid so they toys etc. do not get stuck in the pipe.

4.One of my tenants cars is sitting in the parking lot without a tag and a flat tire and the tenant says they don't have money to fix.Do I get that hauled away?? It looks junkie and has no tag.

5.Thinking about adding solar lights outside for the night time for security for the buildings and to deter crime.
