It is nothing more than funny money done electronically.

They may even, like WI, publish a pamplet that covers the statutes in plain english, which you might find at the county clerk's office, courthouse, or electronically on a website.Lastly, and perhaps as a last resort, if the LL continues with the unnanounced and unattended showings, your gf could call the cops.

In my area they use Supra boxes which are electronic lock boxes that can track who comes and goes that way they have some accountability and they ensure only agents can view the properties.

It would also be great to do electronic leases. simplifyem.com charges $9.95 per month for up to 10 properties. 

I use "ClearNow" to electronically collect rents.

Then you can use an electronic tenant/landlord system to keep your costs low and possibly use the realtor who helps you buy it to interview/show the property after the sale. 

My initial thought is being able to "inspect" damage or a repair by having someone video it and send you the video, or you could watch live and ask questions.Second thought is having typical security cameras in common areas and being able to remotely review footage when someone has a complaint, at least to get a sense of what's going on.Seems like with modern technologies there should be some clever approaches that make remote management easier...Speaking of which, @Ryan Swan, there are electronic locks you can put on a door such that you can give a person a one-time code, and you get a record of exactly when they entered and left.

I love electronic devices, but I have found that they are not the best things to use in order for me to remember something.
