I think we were caught off guard that this is a minor, she looks older, and it would be a legitimate "no" to modifying the lease if she were 18+.There is a clause about unauthorized occupants, but as I understand the law, it would not apply to minors of whom tenants gain custody, thus increasing family size, which is protected by law?

I think the word Turnkey is does something to the investor's brain, it makes people let their guard down like they normally would not if they were just dealing with a realtor (ask for references, deal with a reputable company, 3rd party inspections, etc).
