Also how much pet damage insurance I should ask them to carry or do I just need to make sure their renter's insurance covers pet damages?

The simplest fix for this would be BP implementing a mute/block feature that actually does what you'd expect it to do.Currently, they do have a "block" feature but I believe it only stops people from being able to send you direct messages.

@Atul Mohlajee not sure who your attorney is, but three of our attorneys approved our automatically renewing lease that requires tenant to give proper Notice so it does NOT auto-renewal.Michigan law also allows any length of Notice requirement, ours is 60 days.That aside, a judge can rule however they want, forcing the losing side to go through an expensive appeal process.Regarding the 1.5 SD, they are legally allowed to deduct any damages, then apply the rest to outstanding rent.My opinion is that the PMC should only be able to charge:1) Rent + lease utilities until a replacement tenant is found (Michigan statute)2) Whatever the lease contract states

If there are any concerns with the property that are suspected to be causing a safety issue or potential damage to the property you can enter without notice.

And for a 80 yr old, it better have grab bars attached to blockings.

We do not replace cabinets or vanities without charging the tenant for the damages they caused.   

They would still be responsible for repairing any damage above normal wear and tear.

Those who do not give a forwarding address generally are afraid of being served with a notice or lawsuit for the cost of damage beyond what their deposit covered. 

Anyway, repairing flood damage is not a big deal.

Even if you get a full time property manager they will not be able to deal with a roof repair situation or any storm damage without your direct involvement.
