Did you ever get any responses or feedback on this one?

I did not know about the Tenant's Rights and Responsibilities form.

I'm thinking about outsourcing the maintenance response piece to either Latchel or SuperTenders.

Quote from @Kitty Walker: @Tiffany Vogel  Thank you so much for the response. 

I don't use Buildium so I can't speak to what it can or can't do but owner's can sometimes be added on other platforms as co-hosts for the purpose of visibility.

If I can get a heat pump done for $5K vs. a forced hot air system for $15K and its a LTR where the tenant is responsible for utilities, why wouldn't I go with the cheaper option? 

If your lease doesn't explicitly address pest control responsibilities, it’s worth reviewing and considering adding a pest clause in the future to prevent disputes by adding every single pest.

@Jonathan BockThanks for your response.
