Thank you for your reply, really good information! I think I’m going to bring it up. Thanks again!

I her lease isn’t up until next March. I was kind of thinking the same thing as you, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Ultimate all the responsibility falls back on the tenant right?

Thanks for your input!

In one of my units I have a single mom, her son and her friend living there. The mom is listed as the tenant and the son and friend are listed as occupants. The friend has since moved out and another friend has moved in. I have had no problems with the tenant, she’s paid on time and has been a great renter. It’s a duplex and I currently live in the other unit. I’m wondering if I need to go through and update the lease to add the new occupant?

I’m in the process of building a new duplex. We will live in one side and rent the other side for the first little bit, but we won’t be there long. Since everything will be brand new I obviously want to keep it in the best shape for as long as I can. I want to include routine inspections in the lease agreement, thoughts? What are some other ideas to motivate tenants to take care of the place?
