Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

Not one lease in the entire country says a tenant can’t take the appliances when they leave, even long term leases.

If this is simply you not wanting to accept partial payments and the rent is current, stop accepting it - and send a Lease Violation/Notice of Quit for Non-Payment of Rent - and force the full rent to be paid per the lease or start eviction.  

What's the best way to navigate this situation regarding the application process as well as the lease administration?

Plus when the lease is up they tend to move to another updated apt.  

Current lease has size limits for both but it's time to reconsider- are size limits enough or scratch them all together?

I plan to put a $600 utility cap in the lease.

Hi Ricky,Being in operation for 10 years with mid seven figures of assets and NNN leases,it would be wise to speak with your tax advisor regarding if the tax set up should be an LLC, an S-Corp  or a C-Corp.It would also be wise to speak with an asset protection attorney to find out if this is something that might be beneficial to you in that area.

No emotions... no arguments.... this is the lease conditions, this is the eviction process for not following the lease terms... that's it.... no emotion. 

Was fortunate enough to lease for higher than expected rental rates.
