Since Covid this is just the way of the world with STR/MTRs, it can require more cleaning and cause damage but if you want to complete it is a necessity. 

I've also heard of requirements to own for at least one year before you can use the home as a STR.Hawaii is a leftist state that doesn't protect private property rights.

I understand I cannot legally require them to respond, unless the notice specifically requires it, like for instance, a notice of entry, but it's making it difficult to manage the property, and I'm not sure how to proceed.

I do require full screening for the incoming tenant, and updated income screening for the full group of tenants.

When it becomes exploitative as it has with China, it's bad and defensive actions are required.

I understand Costa Rica may have different requirements, but $600 sounds steep and having to do it every year seems excessive.Thank you to anyone who can give me some advice.

It also requires gaining a level of sophistication and knowledge that not everyone has the time, inclination or ability to do.

@Zach HowardThere is no legal requirement for landlords to actually witness lease violations firsthand.

The city required the road to be extended a few feet, along with water and sewer.

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?
