I have never had to file a claim though so I can't speak to that experience. 

I plan to consult a tax professional but before wasting anyone's time I would like to ask whether I can technically claim the property as a rental in 2024 even though our first contract started Jan. 1, 2025?

For all multi-family properties we always handle the lawn care as there are common areas so we can't expect the tenants to care for it.When sending the security deposit claim we state the additional cost that is owed for damages even if the entire security deposit is claimed for other damages.

This can complicate claims payments for the named insured/tenant. 

@Tramaine Robinson I can’t pinpoint a moment in time where it “clicked,” but instead I’ve found a series of small victories that yielded improvements.My first profit gave me confidence.  

Is it worth filling a claim?

Tenant wants to leave, so they claim mold and health issues.1.

I can't believe how many there are, and they've added the Rookie, Financial, and who knows what else.BP doesn't investigate the claims of their guests.

As far as SingleKey actually paying out on claims for tenant non-payment up to 12 months, property damages up to $10k reimbursed, covering 30 days of vacant property losses and helping out with tenant evictions up to $2k (as advertised), curious if anyone on here can attest to SingleKey actually paying out on these claims successfully.

Security deposit will take care of the last month of unpaid rent, but I'm considering filing a small claims court lawsuit to get a judgement for recoverable damages.
