I'm sure I didn't think of everything, but I covered a good amount of ground.Some examples of the provisions (many of these have more detailed descriptions in the lease, this is just for illustration purposes):Windows must be kept shut when it's raining or snowing.All pipes must be dripped during freezing weather (tenant is liable for any burst or leaky pipes that are a result of not dripping the taps)Wood floors / granite countertops / and butcher block counters can only be cleaned with certain products that I list (and I list forbidden cleaning products that can lead to damage, such as vinegar for floors or granite).The dishwasher can only have dishwasher detergent (ie Cascade), and DO NOT USE dish soap.There will be a cleaning fee of $x if the premises is left unclean upon vacancy.Any property left on the premisesA list of things that are forbidden from being put down sinks and pipes, and a provision that if a plumber is called and the repair is due to anything other than defective plumbing, the tenant is responsible for the cost of repair.

If you are doing flipping, I think is advised to utilize an LLC for each flip and leaving it dormant after- that way if a problem arises during or even after the sale of the flip (like the buyer coming back a year later and accusing you of fraud since you put "new plumbing" in your listing ad when you only changed the shower fixtures and water connections to the kitchen, not the entire plumbing) it will not periclitate your other assets or freeze whatever other flips you might be doing.
