The first stipulation states the tenant is making best efforts to secure assistance.

I did want to say that in the leases I use it stipulates how communication will take place - ie text and email.  

I guess good thing they didn't get into the property and then break the stipulations in the lease leading to a potential eviction process.  

Moot point now but before signing the contract you could have stipulated something like "if appraisal is within 10% of list price buyer will pay overage, anything more seller agrees to come down".

Some things you can do is charge a flat rate and cover the difference or call the utility company and get a 12 month average and make that a part of the rents.3: Personally I don't believe in furnishing or supplying anything for my rentals because my market simply doesn't call for it.4: Depending on your area and what the replacement cost for that building is, inflation can effect your policy differently, for this one I would call your provider and ask.5: Common areas much like an HOA would charge, put a common element/area clause in the lease stating the tenant is responsible for a percentage of costs for upkeep of common areas.6: This may depend on state laws, but I would look into if your area requires ADA compliant signage but if you wanted to put a no smoking sign so long as it's stipulated in the lease then it's your call.7: You can't always do much about guests so long as they don't stay indefinitely or cause a danger to other tenants.

Our lease contract has a very clear stipulation that early termination means forfeit of the security deposit which is two months deposit. 

I would imagine most first-time homebuyer programs have similar stipulations.

Sometimes uses are grandfather but they stipulate if 50% more of a structure is burned you have to rebuild to todays standard. 

Other than a bank you can borrow the cash from a private investor in a similar manner only here you negotiate with a person rather than with a bureaucrat; you write a note which stipulates the terms and conditions of the loan that works for the both of you, and then you may or may not use the property as collateral.

Are there stipulations you could include in such a contract such as:“by signing Mr.occupant agrees if does not abide this contract gives investor the right to move all occupant belongings out of address”?
