I'm working on my first rental and trying to understand the best practices for how to use the template leases I can find.

I informed my cleaners that she did not need to clean on date of checkout.

Remember you will also need help with set up, hosting and cleaners. 

Whenever I hear anyone talk about managing occupancy, there is always a heavy focus on leasing.

As the new owner, you’ll want the lease and your landlord insurance policy to take effect as soon as you take title to the property.Temporary Lease Considerations:While short-term leases can work well, leasing to a seller long-term often leads to complications.

Hey all - Stumbled into a new SFR net lease strategy after purchasing my first self-managed SFR in South Florida.

We upsell 3-to 4 simple packages that guests love; I have trained my cleaners to handle them (they make extra money), my VAs help schedule it with cleaners, and we still make a 50% profit margin on everything.

Then based on @Michael Baum's suggestion, I think I will have my cleaner and/or maintenance person do monthly/quarterly maintenance like using using enzyme based cleaners, grease fighting drain treatments and hot water flushing. 

Outside of aesthetics, make sure you have cleaners, maintenance and turnaround worked out so you go in with a solid plan.

You would need to notify them in writing that you will not be expending their lease and they will not be transitioning to a month-to-month lease.
