Another lost his primary residence plus his vacation rental and will be staying with me for the next month while he sorts out his home.

It allowed me to differentiate myself in my market (Mystic, CT) and flip between Airbnb weekend stays and longer stays for Traveling Nurses.

I need to do/create a notice of eviction for a person not on the lease, staying with the person who is on the lease. 

Stay far away from from the Bigger Pockets referral scheme. 

But he does not have a choice to stay and not renew (as long as you enforce that).  

Once we offer the unit to someone we let all other applicants know it is rented, even the ones that didn't qualify.Using checklists and staying organized is key to staying on top of things and not having any discrimination issues. 

The key is to stay consistent and keep learning.

I would have simply said they the ceiling fan stays when they move out as its an upgrade and a light fixture is a "fixture" aka once attached to real estate it legally becomes part of the real estate and YOUR (the landlord's) property.

I plan on getting my license after graduating and either staying in Memphis or possibly moving to Nashville.

Investing in property management and staying informed about local regulations are essential.Good luck!
