We had a case here where the tenant removed them, there was a fire & guess who got fined $10k.I had one guy take a hammer to one instead of just changing the battery & these people get to vote & replicate???

We also go on to list different examples of negligence such as clogged drains due to improperly disposing of materials such as grease, sanitary napkins, ect AND changing furnace filters, batteries.

A car that needs a new battery is worth more than a car with no engine yet they both don’t run.

@Greg Parker Do you not require that of the tenants in the lease, similar to light bulbs, smoke detector batteries etc...?

Like @Marcus Auerbach said, do a review on HVAC and roof, gutters, double check plumbing/drainage, and make sure filters, light bulbs, and smoke detector batteries are all in good working order.Do a walk-through of the property as if you were someone looking for a place to rent with a hypercritical eye.

See the diagram below.Advantages of buying turnkey:Cost consolidation - “Batteries included” - You pay one price for everything including the property, rehab and tenant acquisition.

Lithium batteries on power tools.

I also use them during vacancy turnovers since those turnovers are fully automated, self-serve showings, but you have to have a way to ensure batteries get swapped out regularly, then run a separate cellular network to push updates to the locks over time, which is a another added cost.

I have not been happy with Wink since I first got it because after spending hours getting it set up, I discovered the interface with the lock we had, Yale YRD120 T1L, provided no useful features beyond remotely alerting me to a low battery condition.

Of course after I got the house I plumbed in a nice new set up, with battery back up.
