I usually do laminate for rentals because it holds up better to tenant abuse.

So many TOPA abusers out there, definitely has morphed well beyond the original intent, which was ostensibly to protect tenants from baleful developers and landlords.  

Always do what you said you would and make sure your agreements are aligned with your promises.Lease options have been a source of abuse by certain scumbags like what caused Texas to place greater restrictions.  

(I'm pretty sure he has a substance abuse issue)If he were to quit claim the house to her so she had 100% ownership would that raise any red flags with the title or potentially interfere with my deal when we go to close?

First floor has sent many abusive foul texts, but no overt threats to harm us.  

This practice opens the doors to abusive practices when the fee is set or obtained in excess of what the owner would be entitled to.This is why other professionals in RE, such as attorneys, title companies, closing agents, appraisers and Realtors have a bad taste for wholesalers in general. it's not just that they may be seen as facilitating transactions without a license, but doing so being woefully uneducated in real estate and setting fees in line with net listing practices in taking equity from owners. 

Not sure what source you are looking up online but unless the condensation is a result of demonstrable misuse  / abuse by the the tenant, i don't see how the tenant can be liable.

On any members profile there is a link "Report Abuse" that you can report it.However if you post your email on the internet understand that realistically it will be harvested.

you need a vandalism rider.. and if it was a tenant.. then the insurance company will usually deny tenant abuse claims.. but if it was kids or something like that then your Vandilism rider should cover you.I did have one tenant of mine do so much damage my company covered it and went after the tenant criminally.. not sure on what charge but it was a 45k claim on a 110k house and it was only 3 years old. 

Make sure you clarify what will happen if they don't fulfill this duty.Here is an example from our rental agreement:1.LANDSCAPING/YARD CARE.Regular landscaping/yard care (mowing, edging, trimming, fertilizer, weed control) will be provided by _______________________.For all Tenants:a.Tenant agrees to keep yards, walkways, patios and decks clear and to keep premises free of junk and debris.b.Tenant accepts liability for all landscape damage and/or replacement of such, if caused by neglect, abuse or lack of water.c.Tenant may plant the beds adjacent to their dwelling to their liking, but only with those plants that are of appropriate size and type for the beds.All plants brought or caused to be brought to the property by Tenant will be cared for by Tenant.d.Tenant agrees not to cut or prune trees, hedges and shrubs.This will be Landlord’s responsibility.e.Tenant agrees to properly dispose of all plant debris and agrees to not leave such on the property.f.Landlord will consider special Tenant requests for planting and removal of plants, shrubbery and trees, but reserves the right to determine the make-up of the landscaping.For Tenants of single family homes only: a.Tenant agrees to mow, water, and keep the grass, lawn, flowers and shrubbery thereon in good order and condition, applying fertilizers and weed retardant as needed. b.If there is a failure of Tenant to keep the landscaping in good order and to follow these guidelines, Landlord reserves the right to hire a landscaping service at Tenant’s expense (after a 10-day notice to perform covenant).c.Landlord reserves the right to restore the landscaping to its initial condition, as it was at the time Tenant began occupancy, or if improved during Tenant’s occupancy, to the level of such improvement.
