The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Bottom line, really do your homework before you buy an Orlando condo (but don't necessarily write off all condos in our market).

Write it off in your head as a lesson learned on who not to call.  

Take Photos: Capture images of the incomplete work, the removed alarm system, and the broken tile.Written Records: Keep a written record of all communications with the contractor, including dates and details of conversations.Scope of Work: Check the contract to see if it explicitly mentions the removal and reinstallation of the alarm system, as well as any handling of fixtures like the fireplace tile.Breach of Contract: Identify any clauses that the contractor has violated by not completing the work or causing damage.Formal Letter: Write a formal letter to the contractor outlining the issues, referencing the contract, and requesting a resolution.

Do I have to also write down each task in the moment, or can I go back over a week or even a month and flesh out the details in broader strokes?

But to put their complaint in writing and you will keep it on file. 

Explain your worries about potential damage to the new porch and noise disturbance, especially if it's causing vibrations that could affect the structure or annoy neighbors.Consider Amendments: If your lease agreement doesn't currently address items like punching bags specifically, consider adding an amendment that outlines rules for using outdoor spaces to prevent future misunderstandings.Document Agreements: Whatever agreement you come to with your tenants, document it in writing to ensure clarity and as a reference in case issues arise later.If you need any further assistance or would like to discuss please feel free to DM me!
