@Anna Ahhee - a suggestion - go to the post where you mistakenly wrote $300 and click the "update" link on the left of that post, then explain what you meant to originally write.

If you really think that I'm not using other sources to do research you are sorely mistaken.

I may be mistaken, but it sounds like they will pay me soon after going through the protest process. 

I think some mistaken an LLC to replace insurance, but as Reeds points if you get into big money in attorney fees the LLC did not do it's job, or the owner(s) didn't.

Katie,My heart really does break for you.You sound like a new landlord that is going to learn a very hard lesson.The tenant doesn't move in until the pay the full security deposit and first months at least.It can't be a check either and the funds have to clear as valid.You are mistaken about the tenant not letting you in.That is your property and in case of an emergency they have to let you in period.You can call the police and you will be allowed in.You can't break immediate quite enjoyment for inspections and other mundane items etc.Did you document in the writing the date and the time the event occurred,actions taken and pictures etc.

From what I saw it sounds like AirBnB pairs folks like me with a "Co-Host", and I'd love any insight into how this works (or doesn't, or if I'm mistaken in how this might fill this need).Please let me know if I'm missing any gaping points in my narrative, and I appreciate any and all perspective you can help me with on this!

If I am not mistaken I believe there is an, Oklahoma specific lease in the BP files and contracts section.

One company I do books for, vendors buy stuff for us, and we reimburse them, Sometimes, we mistakenly 1099 for the reimbursement and they run into problems with the IRS.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?
