Are you sure your licensed contractor knows the current smoke and CO detector laws for your area.

I just had one last week, it was a broken smoke detector. 40 bux.Potential for Difficult Tenants JUST like cash tenants, screening is the key.Property Damage Issues JUST like cash tenants, screening is the key.Harder to Evict Difficult Tenants NO it's not, in OH anyway.Full-Paying Tenants May Turn Away NOT sure what this means?

***There are smoke detectors and a portable fire extinguisher in the retail unit. 

Right, the list of things to maintain and/or replace is never ending; rugs, AC filters, light bulbs, water filter in fridge, detector batteries, pest control, coffee maker, stove eyes and pans, silverware, bowls, glasses, sofa cushions, pillows, blinds, brooms, mops, vacuum, brushes, shower curtains, bath mats, beach towels. 

I use these:LEPOWER LED Security Lights Motion Sensor Light Outdoor, 38W 4200LM Light, 5500K, IP65 Waterproof, 3 Head Detected Flood for Garage, Yard, Porch (White) - Amazon.comWhen flipping out of state I go Simpli Safe.When it comes to local flips I have a home security contracting company that has their own alarm system and app that I really like so I use them but they are local to Cleveland. 

So, they look for habitability issues as well as safety issues like detectors, handrails, GFCI outlets, etc.

If there’s an electrical issue, it’s typically up to the landlord to fix it.Heating and Cooling Systems: The landlord is responsible for maintaining and repairing any installed heating and cooling systems.Appliances: If the property comes with appliances, the landlord is responsible for repairing them if they break down.Safety Repairs: This includes things like smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and any other safety equipment the property might have.Remember, these responsibilities can sometimes vary based on the terms of your lease agreement, so it’s always a good idea to clarify these points with your tenants.

Parking in the driveway right in front of the house and motion sensor lights that come on when they pull in provide an added measure of safety.

I literally told them (Sparklight) the service was for the building and had no difficulties obtaining this.I can see the day when there will no longer be USPS; by their own inflexibility to serve others and move toward the changing postal needs and desires of people, they have set in motion their obsolescence.

My Blink cameras activate as soon as there is motion,there may be a 3-4 second delay getting to my phone to preview,but no delay in camera activation.
