I would like to add things like regulations on drug use, smoking inside, subleasing, etc.

Yet once inside the applicants will tell you they prefer quiet, are non-smoking, and intend to have no pets.

I am wondering if someone can just explain to me where a prospective buyer can find out how to obtain the CO (cost / reason property doesnt have one) and since its buyers responsibility upon purchase, is this somethin...

LIFE-CHANGING ACTIONS here.STEP 1-20.You need to get you personal home rent-ready... not overboard updating, just rentable... clean and painted etc.Fix any leak faucets, loose doorknobs etc NOW, so that when your PERFECT tenant moves in, they won't be calling you to fix those.Put in new 5 Year Lithium Battery (write the date installed ON THE OUTER SHELL) of SMOKE DETECTORS (draw faint red stripes across the front outer shell of smoke detectors-- red means fire or smoke-- when the smoke clears (if the house didn't burn down) it's ok to reset the smoke detector and finish cooking dinner.ON CO DETECTORS (draw faint gray stripes across the front outer shell of a CO--teach your tenant the gray stripes mean DEATH-- if that alarm EVER starts beeping, they are to immediately raise windows , open doors and call you---even if its 2am--- A REPAIR MUST BE MADE or people can DIE-- little children and elderly go first

Much easier to find a nice $500.000 home for a family than a smoking hot deal for $50.000 - and make TEN times more in comission.

Non-sprinkled (smoke detectors only), electric installed in conduit as well as circuit breakers, central gas boiler and contains no common hallways ( exterior entrances to each apartment).

See if that property management company is keeping up to date on the latest laws (for instance, look to see if a newer lease still requires the tenant to replace batteries in smoke detectors -- it's now the California Landlord's responsibility).  

Why would your WORRY about them suspecting that your checking on them..Just simply give them a notice that your going to be in on >>>> date at >>> time you will be checking the furnace, plumbing, smoke detectors,,, and they do not need to be home, and you need access to basement and garage.

Hi all,I want to share a story about the importance of having working carbon monoxide and smoke/heat detectors in your rentals.

This will start with a letter to all, stating the new ownership, any new or newly enforced rules(no smoking, cleaning up after dogs, etc.), and mentioning that they have until a certain day to start paying the rent or move on.
