If they say put up higher railings, additional smoke detectors, etc, complete it promptly and document it.I've been in the landlord business for 20 years, and I've always kept my properties to code and well maintained.

For individual properties, we've recently started using a QR code system for wi-fi and email capture to save on costs.

Normally, unless there are specific building code restrictions, the amount of units allowed on a lot is determined by the Floor Area Ratio. 

We also are very verse on the Property Code Laws of what legally we must do and what is just good business.So @Ian McClure to answer your question, it would depend on how the new tenant was on boarded and what kind of business the owner runs concerning his property

If you see multiple posts a day, it's definitely worth speaking up about like @Nathan Gesner mentioned.At the end of the day, these "trolls, the cut and pasters, and AI posters" don't win in the long term....All sites or groups that grow experience the same issues with moderation (see Facebook groups), but VAs can't moderate because they are doing a letter of the law thing and not reading these garbage posts for what they are - spam, AI, number puffing, and cut and pasting, self-promo.

You have to know the landlord tenant code regarding proper notices etc.  

These tools use the same technology that hotels rely on to maximize rates.Keyless Entry for Smooth Check-Ins: Keyless entry systems give guests a unique code that expires after checkout.
