We also have a stern conversation with them about not hiring vendors and that they would be fully responsible next time.

@Jaron WallingThank you for the response and insight.

While you can't create limitations against their lease and legal rights they have for quiet enjoyment, things like keeping common areas free of clutter or routine maintenance items that are tenant responsibility can often be added to help keep the expectations on both parties clear.

Spell out the complete agreement of how expenses, profits (or losses), and other responsibilities are to be split—put everything in writing.Do a background check on the partner to confirm there are no outstanding liens, judgments, or active lawsuits against them.Hope these suggestions help.

Thank you so much for the response!!

@Brody Veilleux I keep individual checking accounts for all my properties and have mortgage accounts on most of them.

Hi, this is a high rise condo and the building is responsible for the ventilation system which is not working, not only in my unit (bathroom & kitchen) but in the entire building.

Let me know of your progress if you would, and we'll both keep an eye out for further responses to this thread.

Lease Agreement: Use a compliant, detailed lease covering rent, rules, and responsibilities.2.

I would make the check out to both of them and let them figure it out as I assume the lease agreement did not have who was responsible by percentage.
