You will hate living with contractors , the noise , the dust , the smells , the constant moving of furniture , etc .

For example, an experienced plumber may suggest putting hammer arrestors on a plumbing system, to help alleviate potential water hammer problems (knocking noise) and prolong the life of components/fixtures/appliances, but the local building code may not require them.It would also depend on what you are doing the work for and how the deal #'s pencil out.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a noise monitoring device?  

The competition, the feeling when you win, the grind to be the best.

I am going back through the signed Pet Agreement and I do have two statements pertaining to this that read "Tenant will not allow pet(s) to cause any danger, damage, nuisance, undue noise, or health hazard," and "Dogs: Must be controlled at all times.

You may want to make rules about grilling/noise/late hours/fires just to reign in any misuse of the space.  

I am concerned about damage and noise of course thank you.

This is a grind for sure, but you will thank your future self 5 years down the road when you actually have control of your time (which essentially is the reason people seek financial independence). 

@Marc Winter we are  struggling with this exact issue on carpet vs laminate but being a second floor condo sometimes its noise and sometimes there is alot of subfloor work to put in the vinyl, increasing the cost alot.

But if I come across a person that I think is sincere and is in dire need of help, I might help (without making any noise and letting anyone know).
