Last year I bought a 4 unit, 2 story purpose built apartment. I use a property management company but I also stop monthly to check on things. The place has been clean and quiet until a new tenant moved in last month. She proceeded to fill the entire common entry space with decor, message boards, side tables etc. She put a shelf out front with plants and other items. Also on the backside of the property, she put a junky chair and table with a smoke bucket and dog tie out. It's made the whole property look trashy and I'm trying to find the best way to direct my property manager to resolve this. Has anyone dealt with something similar and how do you approach it. Thanks

@Michael Baum I'm getting close on a policy with Traveller's. Been turned down by USAA, Proper, and CBIZ.

@John Underwood I'm trying to find that out now.

I'm purchasing a large lake house in Minnesota to do STR. The current owner has had it on VRBO for 3 years and last year put in a new inground pool with a diving board and a slide. It's beautiful and is a great draw for guests, but I'm having a hard time finding a company that will give me insurance. Multiple companies have asked me to remove the diving board and slide or they won't offer me a policy. Has anyone run into this issue or have advice.
