Rules about Hanging Pictures

[Marty Rogachefsky]

First time investors here!

When you have tenants sign a lease, do you include any rules about what they should hang on the walls?

For instance, do you say that they shouldn’t nail anything to the wall and only use command strips?

Or are holes after move-out just part of the cost of doing business?

Quote from @Marty Rogachefsky:

I permit a few small nail holes per wall, or they can use command strips. If they use nails, I instruct them to leave the holes and we fill them at no charge because it's "ordinary" use. If they fill the holes and do a terrible job, then I charge them to fix it.
