If you had maintained this strategy for the last 3 years (2015: 1.4%, 2016: 1.1%) your tenant would have seen nominal increases in his rent all tied to a fixed formula and you would now be poised to increase his rent from roughly $2410 to $2475.

Give notice of lease infraction, odor of smoke coming from aparment and unauthorized person.. give him a notice that his lease will not be renewed.. and that if the smoking and unauthorized person does not stop you will seek emediate action for eviction action cause of lease violations.Tenant 2. photo's of carpet damage.. and take more action in inspecting the buliding, grounds, listen and look for signs of pets, and pet POOP.. and give the tenant the option to leave/ or pet leaves.. 

@Allan Smith I am the outlier in the group I put together a simple hand written letter, which I later photo copied and input names and addresses.

I took photos of the place and put the pictures up online as it was ready to rent it out.While we were working on the back house, we got the contractor to remodel the front house.

Could I stop by and possible take photos/video of the inside ?

You’ll need to take photos of the unit after move out.

@James Masotti yep absolutely, I get really lost on listing photos as far as layout goes...which is why I love using Matterport.

They are now excellent at sending me damage photos and understanding the difference between a "mess" and "damage". 

We have a son and daughter in law who lives near Cincinnati who just lost their baby a few months ago and it will be nice to have a place to get together and visit them while we are at the conference if they want to stop by as well after work to see us.I saw a fireplace in the photo!

Heres how my appraisal went:- Appraiser drove by, took photos of the outside of the house, then the bank said they needed to come back to take photos of the interior (because there wasn't any grass yet, and a full dumpster in the driveway).- Appraiser came by, walked in the house, took photos of everything that was finished and looked nice, and then avoided everything that wasn't completed.- I got the appraisal I needed.
