I am not sure because this has not been contemplated before as a possibility in the US. 

I am contemplating turning this into an AirBNB so I would have to keep one in the unit then as well.Thanks! 

If you do decide to go after them rather than eat these costs as you are now contemplating, you can get your filing fee and other costs back from them if you prevail.

I hope that this post will help others that are contemplating a similar project.My wife and I own about 40 acres of land in North Carolina.

When contemplating renovations I offer compensation to an RE agent for BPO on the increased value and I also consult with rental agents about the increase in rent from Reno work.

Contemplating my first investment purchase for probably far to long while I build other people's investments for them and learn as much as I can.  

This for many retailers can further put the squeeze on profits for retailers who aren't 'wired up' and rely heavily on instore traffic.If there are however multiple years of unusually high increase in retail location closures -- that would be reason for contemplation.

I'm a new investor contemplating structure and strategy.  

@Fernan Nava,Very good advice, “Know your market”.So, I am giving myself between now and spring to really evaluate the rent raises.One thing that is driving me to consider the raises, is that I am contemplating taking on exterior porch maintenance, something tenants were tasked with in existing lease but I have had to remind them repeatedly on, with little luck.I have come to find that it is easier to fight monetary vs. compliance issues in evictions court.I therefore want to put a monetary value to items/policies that don't currently have a monetary value.In existing lease tenants are required to keep their immediate exterior areas clean, but somehow either they are just lazy or just flat out stubborn and while yes I could issue a 3-day notice to quit, I choose not to.Instead, I plan to take on that responsibility and simply charge them for it, so I am not wasting my time reminding them of it during next lease term.Less is more in my opinion and I prefer an approach where I have more chance of success in evictions court.Up the price and take care of the exterior 3 times during the lease term and I don’t have to worry about it while at the same time I get to maintain curb appeal and keep pests away which is my biggest concern.

I won't be working while in school so this has led me to contemplate selling a cash flowing property., which I hadn't planned on doing.
