That's the day to day landlord keys.But spares are kept in a box, some cheap plastic labels and mark up the property.On a side note, there is a reason to have a really big keyring and lots of keys.My wife was showing a contractor an empty place, she wanted an AC system or windows or something.

With the friend I mentioned above it was put him in an apartment that was vacant or put him in my spare bedroom and the apartment seemed much more convenient to me.

We also give our tenants enough keys at move in so they can secure a spare for times like these.

Mike I raised my son as a single parent, started a business out of my spare bedroom and began investing in real estate.  

I'll spare you what I think of this development.Really hoping my wife and I can come to joint accord on this via counseling, but I'm trying to understand what could be done legally, should I need to press the issue.

I'm planning to house hack the 2 spare rooms soon to start learning the in's and out's of being a landlord and to help me save for my next property.If you made it this far, thanks for reading all of that!

Chalk, screws, nails, putty, spare knobs for the shower and sinks, plunger, snake and wet-dry vacuum.  

I could move into the apartment, rent out the spare rooms in the house, and keep the garage which is below the apartment for myself.

It spares me from future issue like finding that the landowner is difficult to deal with.

I'll spare the details of long emails and voice mails that they have sent threatening us with all sort of legal action, etc. if we do anything to work on the unit that disturbs their well-being, or do anything that seems retaliatory.
