For the next 10 months (40 weeks) you spend a fairly reasonable 5 hours a week marketing, communicating with guests and your property manager and bookkeeping.

If they are VERY professional, they will have their processes in writing as verification that policies are enforced equally and fairly by their entire staff.6.

They don't communicate well, don't take responsibility for their actions, do not clean or maintain homes well, and will shaft you when it's time to leave.Other than that, it's a pretty good system.

One option I haven't heard anyone mention (because they're still fairly new) is MiniStays.

lol it was a lot of communication and laying out upfront what we wanted/needed from the deal and then making sure it was all written out in the paperwork.

My current property management company doesn’t offer this service, and the only company I know of is very hard to communicate with.

Assuming your property is in Utah (like your profile indicates), here's the state law from a basic internet search:In Utah, a tenant who abandons a rental property without notice is liable for the lesser of the following: The rent remaining on the leaseThe rent plus the difference between the fair rental value and the agreed-upon rentThe cost to restore the property to its original conditionThe landlord can also remove the tenant's belongings and sell them if the tenant doesn't claim them within a reasonable time.

My tenant is also nonresponsive to all communications so they may not even show up at this point.

Some piece of communication is missing.  

If they are VERY professional, they will have their processes in writing as verification that policies are enforced equally and fairly by their entire staff.6.
