I love that you are continuing your mom's passion, and doing it together. 

That's why it sort of replace the need for a checking account.Every tool has it's function.

So I just wanted to make sure that the 8 days that they accessed the property to continue to move out basically, would be considered unpaid rent.  

Lock-out, should they continue to not come even, would be typically less than 14-days.Unless the tenant comes even with the rent (which would result in dismissal of the non-payment of the case), there is generally limited defense to this process.

I think its a matter of how you build it and its functionality. 

Glad you have had success and continue to do well with your portfolio@Chris Lin  Sorry to hear about your place, hoping you get resolution to your issues.

If the tenant was placed by the Manager, and wishes to extend or renew their lease, andthe owner wishes to cancel this agreement to continue on with the existing tenant, there will bea fee of $800 + GST.

They aren't the actual bank so need to upcharge these fees and hoping in volume they can make enough to continue operating. 

I am happy to have their expertise to continue to count on. 

I would be happy to share my experience in knowledge in this area (MA and RI) as I continue to look to build my portfolio.
