@Keith AnnisI'm not an attorney, but I don't think you need to prove anything to impose a fee that is a legitimate provision in your lease.I think it would be on the tenant to challenge the validity of it in court as a defense to the eviction you file for nonpayment of the fee, and the judge would then make a judgement based on both sides of the story (your explanation as to why you believed it to be occurring, and the tenant's explanation that it was not).

If LL gave honest feedback this requirement would be unnecessary. 

Hello,I’m a new wholesaler and I’m seeing a lot of things about people saying that attorneys aren’t needed for wholesaling, but i’m also seeing a lot of people say to hire an attorney. Not sure what to do. Any help wo...

We have owners who get their statement and immediately send the $400 or whatever the "remit balance" line says, which is unnecessary since rents have come in.What software are you using, and what are your biggest pain points with it?

At this point, a lease seems like an unnecessary hassle, I should probably do it, maybe I'll get around to it when I get my own to-do list under control (LOL, like that's ever going to happen).

Entire cabinet replacement is usually unnecessary unless you are flipping.

As part of that, I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about a home inspection so that there aren't some major surprise costs that will make the deal bad.I have 2 major questions:1. what are the necessary components of an inspection for a rental home (I want to do the stuff that will avoid big expenses down the road and will avoid law violations but nothing extra or unnecessary).

I understand that SD imposes TOT and that I need a certificate to begin the airbnb business.

What information is good to include and what is unnecessary?

Again, the LLC isn't a tax benefit in your case; the LLC is a legal entity for liability protection which imposes accounting restrictions.
