Put it in writing so there is no miscommunication. 2.

If there is minimal furniture, that's ok, but bear in mind that the Inspector will have to cover his butt by writing into the report that the house was not clear and therefore his conclusions may be invalid and he is not liable for missing anything.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

One thing I would do is have writing in the purchase contract or an outside contract stating who will get what revenue, that way they can't flip on you and take all the money you though you were getting from the transition period. 

Many applicants just want to tell us their excuses over the phone, but if they won’t take the time to put it in writing, we find they rarely end up being good tenants.UnderwritingTraditionally, landlords have only looked at the income of applicants and approved those having income equal to three times the property rent.

If I wanted to make a statement about percentage of homes bought for cash v financed in the US I would get the exact statistical number. and write it But that's not the point.

If it was me I would give them the 1000 and have your lawyer write a release of all claims as to the water.. and probably not renew unless other wise they are great tenants.. but if your already asking for pre signed checks sounds like collections maybe an issue as well.

@Mike Farr yeah, your income shouldn't be an issue if you work with the write lenders here. 

This village always requires a walk thru by the building dept  (so no doing stuff without a permit) and man was the write up of repairs long.

I did sell mine just a few months ago and I bought a new 4 runner in dec so I could get 100% write off.. but buying gas is a new experience I wont even look at how much it costs I am afraid we are 3.50 to 4.00 her in Oregon..
