Damage Insurance STR

[Jessica Herndon]

I am currently using a PM for my STR and I am considering self-managing at this point. We have had people burn a large portion of a living room rug, smash televisions, allow a pet to chew up a dresser in our pet free home, and puncture holes on the inside of the refrigerator. These are just a few examples of many tenant damage issues I have experienced while using a PM.

What is the best way to address damages like this if you are self managing? Any advice and insight would be appreciated.
