I explained that she should’ve let me know and I would have had any needed cleaning done but inquired as to what was wrong as it had been professionally cleaned and we have not had any complaints from tenants or short term rental guests.

They need to drop probably down to $250 but they can’t/wont do that and the cleaning fees and cost to operate the pools prevents them from doing so.

I contacted the power company, and they directed me to the tax assessor's office to inquire about obtaining a separate address for the pool house.

I think all these comments saying “no” are mind blowing, I understand the cost of testing a house for meth is pricey, but if your a landlord one of jobs is to make sure the property is clean and safe for the next tenant, so when there is ANY reason whatsoever to believe there was a meth lab, meth smoked in one of your rentals and believing “tell the tenants no, I won’t test for meth, we can just end the lease and you can find somewhere else to live” is absurd.

Keeping a long term tenant might be worth it to me versus cleaning up after a 10 year stay, even if the rent is below market. 

What is the infrastructure story (do they have water/sewer/power to support growth)?

Please include:When and how is rent to be paidWhen and how are utilities going to be paid (if any)When and how is the cleaning going to be (if shared or provided)What are the costs associated with damages / breaking stuff / calling a technicianWhat are the costs of breaking the lease, finding a replacement if you are doing short term leases on the roomsIf they lost their keys or check bounces what is the charge for it, how the cleaning of the common areas is going to work, and enforcing quiet hours.

So I’m basically just charging for the cleaning.

We went with 2 of the wash towers in our STR and we are our cleaner's favorite house to care for - the love that they can get all the linens clean so quickly! 

that would be an extremely powerful way to get started in a new market.
