Also perhaps the homes built in the last 10 years have sprinkler systems and even drip systems near the foundation to keep the soil moist.Look for signs when you are viewing homes....especially in the hot areas.When we evaluate homes, especially with buyers we're looking at the BIG 5 as best we can.

Many carriers are including exclusions for GC commercial general liability coverage and professional liability coverage for engagements involving condos and even stricter exclusions when dealing with conversions.

Charge the tenant for all cleaning and repairs required to return the rental to these same condition as it was given, minus ordinary wear-and-tear.You can't charge full price for a replacement appliance, flooring, or even paint.
