Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

If you haven't had him sign anything or hand over deposits etc then....NOPE.

Then today October 17 he contacts me and says I have to give him a 400.00 pet deposit or get out I feel as if my own landlord is robbing me can he do this legally!!! 

One of your investors could help you with the earnest deposit and net worth/liquidity requirements if needed. 

Tenant still insists she wants to rent the place and Aaron is afraid she will sue him if he terminates the contract.I advised him to have the home deemed uninhabitable, tell the tenant to remove her stuff, and refund the deposit and any unused portion of rent.

I received a credit at closing for capital improvements during interim, security deposits & real est commission.

If you go to court the judge is going to say what did you both agree to, let me see your lease.It also defines expectations to the tenants and what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior.It defines how much the rent is and how much deposit you are holding. 

You cannot charge extra rent or an extra deposit for an ESA; however, the tenant is responsible for whatever damage that animal causes.Service Dog (or miniature horse) -- These are animals that help with some kind of physical disability. 

I like Cozy because everything is online, so I can see when the tenant has submitted rent and I don't have to deposit the checks.

But if all the bids are from investors is by deposit or quick closing.
