Example - Tenant must drip all outside spigots when temperatures drop below 28 degrees.You can definitely insert whatever you'd like in the contract related to protecting the property during cold weather.

(insert note of suspicion:  free for now)

If he has any questions I can look at my check stubs/comments I inserted on the table.That is how I do it.  

Insert new LL info on the lease; you honor the lease terms until the existing lease expires, then give them your lease at that time or let them go MTM if that is provided. 

If you have chosen MLS properties as a market segment, you may want to reevaluate that, as organized realestate inserts their interest in between you and your prospect.

insert other suggestion here.The home is in the San Gabriel Valley area of southern California and is not within walking distance of many amenities, but there is plenty within a 10-20 minute drive. 

One place I have rentals, kijiji and used(insert city name), another rentfaster.

I would just replace X% with "CPI for [insert appropriate area] for [all consumers, or whatever line item you want to reference from BLS reports] as published by US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)" and leave it at that.

Sure this is the old 'J G Wentworth' we buy (insert long list of slow or future payouts) at a big discount to create a ROI.

Sounds to me like both the seller and their realtor exercised poor judgement by signing a contract with a breach clause, rather than inserting terms in the purchase agreement that would allow them to continue to accept offers and for the buyer to be allowed the option to match or exceed any higher offers.At any rate, sounds like @Tom Gimer has some solid advice.
