I want to know how many landlords here give receipt or confirmation of any form to acknowledge rent received from tenants?

I'm in Tampa but have to acknowledge the kindness of your offer!!

Hi BP,Here is my dilemma, I won an Auction.com property which states they will be providing a SWD and insurable title, yet the addendum supplied by the bank in the purchase agreement states: "BUYER UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PROPERTY MAY CONTAIN MECHANIC’S OR MATERIALMEN’S LIENS OR OTHER LIENS RESULTING FROM ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OF LOCAL ORDINANCES AND BUYER IS TAKING SUCH PROPERTY SUBJECT TO THOSE LIENS, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT IMPACT BUYER’S ABILITY TO TRANSFER THE PROPERTY IN THE FUTURE."

I also ordered a certain number of bandit signs, although not always recommended, I also get have the attitude of " I rather overdoing it than not being acknowledged at all" @Corey Thompson let us know how that goes, but consider doing a certain number every week, you would get the same stats and the benefit of repeated exposure like @Matt Berglund said.

from what I saw during my walkthrough one unit was very clean and the tenant was very friendly. the second unit worried me a little bit as there is minor damage from a dog and not nearly as clean or willing to acknowledge me during the walkthrough. 

You have acknowledged the situation you are in though which is always a very difficult step to take with the acceptance phase.do people live in Joshua tree or is everything a rental?

I gave my tenant a 10 day demand for rent letter, which she acknowledged.

I want the extra acknowledgement of what they are agreeing to with a signature.

The notorial wording usually looks something like the following for an acknowledgement:"On this __ day of __________, 20__,  (name of signer) personally appeared before (your name, Notary Public) and proved to be the person whose name appears on this document and acknowledged that he/she signed this is her own capacity"Then lines for your signature, sometimes date, commission number, and always a space for your stamp.A Jurat will need to be signed in front of you, and is similar is wording to the acknowledgment, but will say something like "subscribed and sworn before me" in the certificate. 

It's just the zoning administrator acknowledging the number of units that are currently existing in the building.If you want to add a new unit to an unfinished basement, because the city did not keep good records of building permits, you could try apply for the zoning certificate for the additional unit.
