The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

You can also request a security deposit for extra peace of mind. 

If they have nowhere to go or don't know how to find a next place, and no relatives who are helping them, you will be the only person that goes the extra step to help (even with advice) which means you will get the sale at a better price and help someone.

A couple of thoughts that might help.I recast a loan at a point where I had paid enough extra to allow recast (I think it was $5k over).

The tenants have paid and if someone is thinking about moving out then an extra surcharge that hits if they aren't out in time for us to turn the place for a lucrative AirBNB short term rental can help massage the move out timing.That said with MTR we do not have the cleaning costs that eat up a lot of STR gross, and its lower hassle in some ways.  

They get extra sun and produce a lot more limbs and thus knots, lowering the value. 

Tons of double sided tape used which results in a fair amount of extra effort to restore (most cases paint comes right off the wall requiring patching sanding etc, some cases Good-off was effective.

While state specific leases are simple and can work, spending the extra investment and having a real estate attorney help create one for you will likely create more value/protections and save you money in the long run

However, I definitely recommend pictures any time a guest left damage or extra cleaning that will result in additional charges.

It’s an extra step, but it can save you from surprises later.Keep asking questions-it’s the best way to learn.
