You cannot engage in PM without the permission of your Broker. 

Asking because if it was after, then it seems like you were basically wishing upon a star that the board will grant you permission to convert in order for your deal to work. 

I would be very surprised if your agent actually approved the work on your behalf without your permission.

Quote from @Davit Gharibyan: You can put a sign on the building and name it whatever you want, any time you want, but you probably have to get permission from the City first.If you want tenants paying rent to "Cherry Blossom Apartments" then that should be a registered name, the bank accounts should be in that name, the leases under that name, etc.

If all your maintenance requests are for small things, the PM may not need to get your permission first.As others have stated, a good PM will provide copies of the invoices so you can see exactly what is going on with the maintenance.

Hi @Isaac Jordan - you can easily put a clause in the lease to prevent any tenant (person or business) to sublet to anyone else without your permission. 

For a good tenant in your case, I would probably want to see at least verified employment (even get permission to call HR of the employer or supervisor if yours is not still in effect or dated) by the end of the month to give any leeway on the rent. 

I wasn't able to ever get permission to turn on the water because on the PC report it failed an air pressure test.

There would be nothing wrong with having a book/report written by someone else provided you had their permission.

A transfer tax might be involved, although the amount varies widely by locality.Compliance with State Laws: Different states have different rules and requirements regarding property transfers, so it's important to research or consult a legal professional knowledgeable about the law affecting your property.Local Rental Rule Considerations: Some towns and cities may have laws regarding rental licensing, registration, or permission.
