Most of my tenants were law students and a quiet building was essential.The main thing about having all of the criteria I had that seemed kind of wacky, which I learned over the years, is that all of those little things are red flags and are part of that hinky feeling you get about an applicant sometimes but maybe you can't quite put your finger on, but you can't explain away a potential discrimination complaint with "I just had a hinky feeling about them, your Honor". 

@Jennifer RysdamI use Bipass doors with some upgraded heavy hardware and a larger finger pull cup.

Fingers crossed it stays on the west side!

After having control at your finger tips is one of the best thing you can have when hiring a PM company.

In our lease, the tenant is responsible for the first $100-$200 of repairs so that cuts down the calls unless there is a major issue.Had a fridge part go bad on thanksgiving week and it would have taken a week to get it, so ended up buying a new fridge for the tenant, other than that no major issues.The idea of "tenant pays first $100-200 in repairs" is nice until you meet the tenant whose knocked out the display part of a range, which is now hanging loosely inside the top part of the range, and they are sticking their fingers in to turn the oven on and off.

So far so good keep my fingers crossed.

The idea is that they will lighten your load, but don't ever expect to not have a finger on the pulse of your business, unless you want to lose money.Just think of all of the really wealthy superstars who have lost everything because they trusted a manager completely.The real problem is that the PM industry has somehow been created in a way that is completely unrealistic. 

Fingers-crossed, but thus far I have not seen much.

Do it pass go or cross your fingers hoping the situation improves .

The area around the knobs where your fingers lightly scratch it, just with normal use, ends up scratching away the color over time.
