I think this technology will continue to improve over time giving more battery power and additional capabilities.Even the less expensive brands have worked well in our communities, I guess we will see how they compare over the next few years.

None have ever said no, as they would not be accepted without it.For our SFRs in NJ, the tenants do have a choice; if they decline it, they initial a clause in the lease, stating that they understand that the landlord's policy does not cover anything of theirs in the case of a fire, flood, power outage, burglary, etc.

Buyers have significantly more negotiating power.

Knowledge is power, but also a burden.

And, here's a harsh reality:  you mean nothing to the tenant...their caseworker is the one with the power. 

Batteries last for years and I've never had one fail.

The judgement you get from the court gives you the power to potentially collect.

Well, the state would need to repeal their law and give power back to the municipalities. 

In places like NYC, where the rental vacancy rate is below 1%, all the power is with the landlord and this will drive prices up.

My work with group homes, in particular, has shown me the powerful combination of investment success and meaningful social contribution.My decision to join BiggerPockets was driven by a deep desire to connect with individuals who share my passion for real estate.
