My tenants are responsible for maintaining a clean property and for any requested pest control services.

For a good tenant that has paid on time and was keeping the place in good clean condition I probably would have just eaten the charge.

We have not disabled ours or converted to gas, but Tenant must sign a Fireplace Addendum stating if they use it, we require a higher renter's liability policy with us as additional insured, rules on wood, storage, use, safety, they pay for yearly professional cleaning each year they are there, etc.  

We would regularly get emails with requests from new Kiavi staff or partners we had not previously been introduced to.

Of course "hoping" rates will come down is not a sound strategy so finding a way to assume a loan that already took advantage of low rates is a great option.If you were starting over and targeted a large SFH, would you try to maintain the property in a way that would still attract regular homebuyers (not investors) if you needed to sell?
