We had to remove a rotting tree and fix a plumbing issue. 

There is one laundry room with a few machines,  The landscape is pretty basic with gravel and 4 really tall palm trees on the frontage road.  

Cleveland does cite when the trash collection guidelines are violated, but I've only heard of it happening in extreme cases.....like when you're tenant loads up the entire tree lawn 5 feet high on garbage day (or the weekend before). 

Lol, I noticed one hanging in the tree above we were sitting under talking.

You are not not seeing the forest for all the trees.

Coffee, Tea or Drinks on us! 

I have an old cherry oak tree on one of my properties where one of the branches fell off last week.

The new house has everything I need in a house, but location is 8.5 (near a rarely used, but still used train track, new development, no trees) and tiny lot of 2500 s.f.

I have a hard move-in date that the tenant must adhere to, but if I cannot provide the unit to them within 14 days (outgoing tenant holds over, tree falls on building, destructive fire, code violations, etc.) they can walk away free and clear, or delay occupancy (their option).The money they are asking for in advance is absolutely par for the course; I require first, last and security deposit (as well as any pet fees) to be paid before I will even sign a lease with a prospective tenant.Maybe someone who is more familiar with HOAs can chime in, but it seems possible that they would have their own bureaucracy that they would subject their owners to.No legal advice given.

Think of it as putting a small amount of poison in a gallon of ice tea.
