By shouldering this responsibility, tenants become more conscious of their usage and may work together to use less.The Power of Written Agreements: The Importance of LeasesOne of the most critical steps in managing tenants is creating a written agreement that outlines the terms of the tenancy.

@Brice Hall I feel you have a chip on your shoulder regarding this issue.

I allowed my aggravation at the "shoulder-shruggers" to cloud my strategy.

This is going to put a ridiculous amount of risk on your shoulders, especially in a post covid world where moratoriums are the norm.

If the LL does not resolve maintenance concerns then the tenant may opt to terminate the lease, but I suspect there's a process for ensuring interested parties are accommodated fairly (shoulder shrug).

I was around 16 when I first calculated my net worth.I shoveled snow (I actually looked forward to a big storm and was up at the crack of dawn with a shovel on my shoulder and wasn't back home until dark), cut grass, raked leaves, etc.). 

Because we are shouldering the risk, we require a substantial down payment and interest rate from our end buyer.

Some PMs would simply add a 10% surcharge on that $388 bill and shrug their shoulders when you questioned the high bill. 

I certainly don't need to be there watching over their shoulders but occasionally it's a good thing.

So I guess that's one benefit, that the shoulder season is a little shorter there as most ski areas are dead Mid-April through May.Like others have said though, the numbers have to work and those don't look great.
