Does the lease not limit your payment on the utility? 

Leasing Alert Property Management based out of Los Angeles County is managing this property.

However, communication issues with Lacey began almost immediately—she took two weeks just to send me a contract and was frequently unresponsive, blaming weather-related issues.She advertised the property as highly profitable, but when I asked for proof, she never provided any.

How did you craft the lease option contract?

Hi Robert,Id love to connect and better understand what markets you may be interested in. my partner and I are based predominantly out of Worcester. we frequently partner with other investors and we also constantly have deals come across our desks that we don't have use for.

Lease purchase option for 10-15 years?

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases.

I have a lease addendum that are house rules, specific to the property.

I'm not sure yet if he was on that lease or not.Definitely some red flags here for me.

We only found out that early in the lease because of several maintenance issues shortly after the tenant moved in and we have had to go back and forth with the owner for monies to pay certain invoices.
