I made offers of several properties, waited and monitored the countdown for the live auction to begin which never actually happened. 

Minut seems to be less expensive, but according to Wynd's website, they say Minut's smoke monitoring is in Beta and doesn't track marijuana smoke.

If it's not included in the rent, many companies charge a flat fee to monitor & pay utilities.2) Assuming you're referring to resident benefit packages, renters insurance, and other charges for services the PMC offers to tenants. 

For clear evidence, you may want to consider an air quality monitor specifically noted for detecting a range of smoke types.

Nobody monitors or enforces it, but you should understand this before jumping in.

Consider remote monitoring tools (like security cameras), and budget an extra 10-15% for surprises.

Neither camera is capable of turning toward the house to view anything going on inside the residence.I am a remote landlord and wanted the cameras as a security measure to protect the exterior as well as monitor what goes on when outdoor vendors are at the property. 

I used to have a Minute sensor (for noise monitoring) in a unit located in a rough part of town, and guests would simply take it down.

Actually for me it is an upside to have indivdual systems so you can monitor tenant behaviors. 

2) Property Preservation: as the owner you have the right to protect your property - even during an eviction. 3) Monitoring Utilities: you should have been receiving the water bills.
