Renters will pay for: central heat & air, dishwasher, main floor/in-unit laundry, carpet-less home (laminate, tile, wood floors), off-street parking, fenced-in yard, dry storage (shed, clean basement), some type of clean outdoor space (patio, deck, porch).3.

I recently dealt with sugar ants (tiny light-brown ants) which had found their way into the plastic bags in which I put my food in the pantry in an effort to discourage them.

I’m looking at two properties about the same price, both around $360k.prop 1: new construction townhouse, HOA of $100, private outdoor patio, 1060 sf, 2 bedroom + 2.5 baths.

If it is smaller holes in the drywall, they can be temporarily covered with plastic and tape. 

They are made of thicker plastic, tougher, and odor/juices won't leak through.

Bulk salt, oils, vinegars and tons more.TP, paper towels, small soaps and shampoos, coffee pods, tea, creamers, Splenda and sugar packets, disposable cups, inexpensive food containers to take food home, Ziplocs, aluminum foil, parchment paper, plastic wrap....on and on.I believe is providing a lot of stuff like that for guests.

For one of my properties, the cleaning fee drops in off season a little bit, reflecting a reduced scope of work - namely the outdoor patios and pool.

The most frustrating thing is cleaners not realizing if done at every checkout most grill cleaning would only take 3 to 5 minutes with the right equipment and 7 step process.Equipment: gloves, aluminum foil, metal spatula, plastic grocery bag1.

We ask our tenants to keep the grill on the patio or further from the home and instruct them not to use or store the grill in any garage or shed on the property.
